I was cleaning up around the house today and going through some old things on my bookshelf when I ran across this:

I think I could write multiple posts daily if I simply focused my attention on all the reasons why I hate CNN. From peddling random t-shirts

I've watched it at least a dozen times and it still kills me.

And yeah, that's right-- my marriage has been relegated to parentheses.

Kathy and I were staring at a photo of the late crocodile hunter and his family.   (Strangely, it was the default photo in a picture frame being sold at a mall kiosk in Bangkok.)
