Well! Another February 14 draws to a close, and (luckily, thankfully) it’s been a very, very good one thus far.
On the work front: we weathered the storm with aplomb, our site never faltering under the onslaught of the greetings industry’s biggest day, while our competitors dropped like flies. W00t! A side benefit […]

Well, I never saw this one coming: the Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible.

Dear London,
So very sorry to hear your sad news today. We were all quite happy for you yesterday with the Olympics and all, and it was so nice to see you turn out for Live8 over the weekend.

This just in from those lovable liberal loonies at MoveOn.org… I don’t pass along much of their chatter, but I hadn’t realized that this was coming to a vote so soon. Please read what they have to say, and act with your conscience, whatever your opinion.
Congress is about to vote on amending the […]

Two bottles of not-so-tasty wine on Friday night eventually led to one that was happy, which ended up paired with grilled brats and Return of the King.
Slept in far past our originally planned time, then discovered that our lack of hot water on Friday morning was not a fluke, as the shower would only briefly […]
