Cruisin'

Wow – this is a lot of color for me, hey? (note: Astro – you should like the bikini… even if it’s only an illustration!) My usual templates on this site are pretty minimalistic.

No Pain – No Gain?

I’ve always understood the relationship between pleasure and pain. Hell, I……(mumble, mumble)… Anyways – 2 months ago – we purchased this. I started using it two days ago. Why so long, you say?

The Big Question

Can my children, Melissa and Ben, actually have FUN together when they are held hostage in a itty bitty town (pop. 811) in the middle of Nowhere, Alabama. Away from their friends. No computers. No video games. Very limited access to television. Can they actually have a good time…TOGETHER… when they aren’t at home trying

Blogging Dennis

We have spend the day today tying things down and putting away things that could potentially sprout wings and fly when Hurricane Dennis makes his way through these parts. The track map looks a LOT more hopeful for us today than it has in days past: If Dennis stays this course – it looks like
