I’m going to go ahead and wallow in a little blogging self-pity here and say that I always feel a little down after a blog conference. It’s not that I’m not happy for all the people who went and got to meet each other and partay and so forth. I actually didn’t even really consider [...]

I still remember the Disney Valentine’s Day special, the one with little vignettes of the characters from all the different movies falling in love. I associate it with Campbell’s soup for some reason - must have been some very good advertising to still be working so many years later. I also remember making my little [...]

I was thinking more about my family and our “best-friendliness.” I realized, though, that we definitely will not always feel that way.

I. Am. Rambo.
Mercifully, [...]

19 loads of laundry later . . .
I feel like today is the big day. I’ll have to talk to the doctor to see [...]
