We finally went out and bought a Christmas tree today. While we were buying it, this little fellow jumped in the van and followed us home. We’ve decided to keep him. His name, of course, is Rudolph. We’re not sure if he’s housebroken, so for now he’s staying outside.

My brother-the-programmer sent me a link to a site about “Assisted Computed Facilities.” If you know anyone who just doesn’t get computers (especially those who mistakenly think they do), read this article!
Since I’m not allowed to read HS’s “Live Journal,” I at least make it a point to read his away messages on AOL IM. Today he’d added a little blurb about an online quiz he took called “Which Family Guy Character Are You?”
So, what the heck, I took it, too. HS was appalled enough to [...]

On November 17, Ahnold was sworn in as the governor of California. What WERE those left coast voters thinking?
At least the rest of the country can take comfort in the fact that he isn’t eligible to run for president.
