The Great Computer Debacle Update
Sunday, 15 November 2009 11:00 P GMT-05
Well, my wonderful wife was, once again, very helpful, figuring out what drivers we needed and downloading them, burning them to a disc, and installing them. And she neither charged me a one-time fee nor tried to sell me a 1-year contract. So I am wr

Tuesday Thankfulness
Tuesday, 10 November 2009 8:20 A GMT-05
I've seen some friends on Facebook doing a thing where each day they post something they're thankful for. I'm guessing that will be hard to pull off without getting pretty banal by the time Thanksgiving gets here, but I thought I might tr

Why?
Monday, 2 November 2009 10:49 P GMT-05
I've mentioned before that I am a "manny" for 3-year-old twins. I find it totally fascinating--and sometimes rather funny--to watch the 3-year-old mind at work. For instance...We were in a building today when boy-twin saw a woman going
