Cross Here

It's not often I find defacing public property amusing, but this altered sign at the crosswalk by our local movie theater is inspiring.

It's been there for about a … Continue reading Cross Here

My Phone Stinks

No kidding. It really stinks. As in somebody's armpit. Really cuts down on long conversations. I use speakerphone a lot.

By someone who I'm … Continue reading Wired

Road Trip

Madison here. Mom's letting me write today's blog since I'm arranging our December 2008 ROAD TRIP. I guess that puts me in the driver's seat. We're heading down I-75 towards Jupiter, Floria starting on December 7th. We'll be stopping at quilt guilds and quilt shops along the way so that Mom can earn gas money and kibble. … Continue reading Road Trip
