It counts, but it could indicate something completely different than the final outcome. But it indicates that you ought to avoid that organic chicken in … Continue reading Free Range! Er, Free Bird!
"First they came for the cigarettes…"
"But I said nothing, because I was not a smoker."Now they're coming for your doughnuts, at least in NYC. Before you know it they'll have people in your house making sure you're sitting far enough away from the TV and putting a sweater on when your mother gets cold.
Christmas
As my wife has noted, I'm taking a few days off of work to help with various and sundry things around the house. Christmas will be here in about 3 weeks and sometime over the next month or so our second child will arrive as well. So there's plenty to be done. We bought our … Continue reading Christmas
