As I sit on our big leather sofa drinking cider watching Mike talk with his hands I want to close my eyes. Close them and listen, not just to the sound of my man's voice, but to the echo of his words as they bounce of the timpani. The big copper kettle stands waist high … Continue reading the timpani

I know I wasn't the only one suffering from a savage case of the Mondays because @mettadore and @kmcdade seemed to be having a problem with it too. Yesterday was just so very Mondaytastic.

You’re a Complete Asshole, You Know That Don’t You?
No, I wasn't talking to you. Why would I call you and asshole, you haven't done anything to me. Unless... unless it was you that stole George, our garden gnome.

I'm feeling kind of surreal guys. I know we just went through the whole HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! thing, but really... it's 2009?What happened to the year 2000? Do you remember when we were kids and we looked forward to the year 2000 as some far future time with flying cars when dinosaurs would be cloned … Continue reading what’s that, it’s 2009?
