A few days ago, I noticed a very large tree branch in our apartment, situated in the office. For some reason or another, she actually brought this INTO our home. I soon found out why. Note: in the bag there is my Halloween costume. Still haven’t thrown it in the wash, to see if any …
All the cool kids (and especially the cool bunny rabbits) love Brussels sprouts. While we were out today running errands, we picked up another big batch of these veggies. It’s now safe to say that this is one vegetable the entire household really likes. Plus – we have to make sure Baxter eats right, if …
Went back down to Frankfort today, to help do some home computer installs/troubleshooting on Bob’s machine. He recently got a souped-up PC, and also got new DSL service at the house. One of my initial tasks was to setup a wireless receiver on the computer. But in order to run the install disk, I needed …
The dinner table, early in the afternoon. The Thanksgiving meal – complete with turkey, gravy, dressing, green beans, potato pie, cranberry sauce, escarole salad and pumpkin soup. Delicious stuff, and a pumpkin pie with coffee followed later in the evening. After dinner, we spent most of our time in the living room, relaxing and… digesting …

And, as you would expect …
With a heavy heart, I’m sad to announce that Dave is officially leaving Chicago and heading out to New York. His plans to move have been in the works for some time now, and his official goodbye party was tonight. A big factor for him was the fact that his girlfriend, Donna, moved out there …

Most people have separate heart and love lines on their palms. Felix has one big line that spans the width of his entire right palm. He's told that this is "lucky."
As a kid, Felix starred in a television commercial for a toy called "Linkits." He's never seen the toy beyond that day, but can still hear the theme song in his head.
On July 13th, 2002, Felix nearly killed himself when he put a Tombstone pizza in the oven and then promptly fell asleep on the couch for the remainder of the night. He almost won a Darwin Award.
