Thanks for the comments yesterday. I’ll get to replying to them tomorrow. I don’t have much time today as I’m home taking care of my wife who is feeling a little under the weather. In the meantime, I leave you with a picture.
Saturday my wife was getting ready for a baby shower [...]

Well, here’s this week’s picture of my playoff beard. Beautiful, isn’t it? Seeing as how I field daily pleas from my wife and daughter to “shave it off” I’m guessing it’s less than beautiful. Oh well. It is working, though. The Pittsburgh Penguins have yet to lose in the playoffs, [...]

I wrote a silly limerick for a contest yesterday. I think it’s pretty funny. Here it is:
I have this great story idea
How caffeine is the best panacea
If you write it for me
I’ll split the profits with thee
While you do that I’ll eat a tortilla
Ahem. Anyhow, I thought it was funny.
My daughter has been [...]

We had a lovely day yesterday in Pennsylvania. Really, any day when it isn’t raining or snowing, and the little round disc in the sky decides to peek its head out is a good day for us. We don’t get a lot of those, and coming off a cold winter, it feels like [...]
