Days ago, I asked Handy what he would like to do for Father's Day. Finally he answered and I responded.  So I guess we'...

I texted Handy, "Caution, cat in driveway." It's funny how such a tiny thing can take up the whole space. 

Muffin tins are still useful, even when you have moved on from building Lego and are building computers instead. Way to spend your first pay...

Now I know many of my fine friends share my dislike of typographical errors. But please, for pity's sake, do not mark them IN INK i...

Frank decorated the tip jar. Think it will bring in more?  He brought this one home. It's too cute to spend.

This is Ernest when he plays board games with the rest of us mere mortals. He is unstoppable.  We had a conversation about the tallest mount...

After my turtle incident, there was a whole mess o' stuff going on.  I'm just not getting into all that right now.   But things...

I weighed myself before going to bed last night, which is generally a mistake, but it was even more of a mistake than usual as I mis-stepped...

"Why does the big fat one get all the attention?" wonder Fifi and Tiny. Fifi has been an indoor cat her entire life. She'...

Remember that horrible little pizza I had? Unfortunately, there was another one in the freezer. Fortunately I had enough stuff in the fridg...

Ah, I'm sure he has missed Southern California traffic. He is very tired of explaining to east coasters why you need a car here, and wh...

Homer's had a rough week. He had an incident with the dog-in-law on Sunday. Normally there is tolerance between the two. But thi...
