Holiday for Him
I’m going to begin my series of gift guides with suggestions for women (or men) who live with/are married to/would like the right to be able to marry a very geeky gadget addict who leaves a trail of cables wherever he goes. Kind of like Hansel and Gretel in the sense that he’s so absentminded [...]

Props
What? You don’t think I adopted a dog and gave birth to a child because I love them, do you? I only did all that because I was bored!

Any extra time is play time. Period and done. No negotiating. Meaning, we have to treat her like we’re dealing with a vicious, [...]
Achtung! or something
So I’ve either got one wicked cold, or I’m in the beginning stages of swine flu. I’m trying to be positive here and hoping for the former because I don’t have a very high temperature, and also, I DON’T WANT TO DIE! I’m headed back to bed in a second but wanted to announce a [...]
Rivalry
