Crazy But Able

Just got the word earlier tonight that we’re going to be renting a house. It’s a cute little blue one with a big garden(!), two car detached garage (!!), raspberry bushes(!!!), and a sauna(!!!!!) in a quiet neighborhood. And the rent is even exactly in the middle of the range we were looking […]

You fool! How could you watch that? Are you trying to kill yourself?!?!
Of course, I saw it in the theatre. With the exception of possibly TitanAE-1 and The Neverending Story Part 2, I think that’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen in a theatre. Titan AE-1 probably wasn’t as bad because […]

This is why everyone should love cats.

I think Peggy gives me too much credit and herself too little. A couple of nights ago I was explaining the theory of quantum theology[*] my theory of what quantum mechanics means when you apply it […]
