Monday, May 9th, 2011One of my favorite things is when the DVR starts recording in the middle of a sentence. This goes double when it’s a news promo. This goes triple when the sentence fragment is the one I just heard in this context: “—wading into the snake-infested floodwaters.”
This Poo Shall Pass

Every Day an Adventure
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011In which I am given something to ponder.
