After my post yesterday, I thought of a few more things I meant to say – some of which were in my other, universally acclaimed by all who ever read it – namely: me, post that was accidentally deleted: TV: My little 19″ tv that is owned by my landlord died last week, so I [...]

My Uncle Creagh, who lives in Birmingham, Alabama (and at least claims to read this blog!) just found out he has to have some fairly major surgery in a few days. So Uncle Creagh, I just wanted to: (a) test whether you really read this blog; and (b) let you know that you will be [...]
