A big bag of depressing...
Tonight I attended my cousin's eleven year old son's layout. It was discovered at about 3 1/2 or 4 years old that Andrew had MPS-IIIB or Sanfillipo Syndrome which is possibly the saddest genetic malady that I have ever known first hand. My cousin, Colin, and his wife have been attending to Andrew's every need 24 hours a day for longer than I can ( Read more... ) -

I don't normally do resolutions but I've done the same stupid stuff for far too many years with predictable results and it's about time that something gives ( Read more... ) -

Be good to your colon...

Death of a car salesman...
I hate high pressure car salesmen and their bullshit.
We went and looked at a Toyota Yaris on Friday, just on a whim. They pressured us into a test drive and I did really like the car and it was a pretty good deal but when we got back from the test drive they magically realized that the car the manager thought we were talking about wasn't the car ( Read more... ) -
Las Vegas Photos
I'm really terrible about organizing the photographs I take and thus sharing them. I really want to get all of our Las Vegas photos posted but in the meantime here's a sample. I framed this one up nice as a Christmas gift to my sister-in-law who was with us on the trip.
