“Maybe you shouldn’t have kids,” I sigh into the phone. Typically I’m encouraging my little sister to just have a kid already, but my sister has caught me in a post Benjamin was being a pain in the ass moment and I don’t really feel like talking, or doing much of anything. In fact, I [...]

March 10, 2010

Designed by none other than John Bear, the tireless 80′s toy and movie pusher, Benjamin’s birthday invitation garnered such a strong reaction from everyone who found it in their inbox that I had to share. When Benjamin saw it he jumped up and down, and then after a few more viewings proceeded to tell me [...]

Suckers

March 6, 2010

All three of us fell in love with a puppy for about a minute today. Okay, maybe it was longer than a minute. Maybe about twenty. It happened entirely by accident.
