Dirty Duty

May 8th, 2007 · 2 Comments · life, owning a home

This morning I knew exactly what had happened before Christa even said anything. There was a gasp, a plop, and a scream to alert me that Christa’s engagement ring had ended up in the toilet.

Pet Food Recall Part 5: Cautiously Optimistic

March 27th, 2007 · No Comments · life, Photos, the kids

Despite everything that happened with Monty two months ago, Eukanuba has impressed me. I buy Eukanuba food for both Bailey & Monty. A lot of Eukanuba food. $70.00 a month worth of Eukanuba food. In the grand scheme of things my investment is probably nothing to a company that talks of millions of dollars in [...]

Confessions of a vinyl junkie

March 8th, 2007 · 2 Comments · life, music, nightlife

I’m a recovering vinyl junkie. The majority of the credit card balance I carry to this day is a several thousand dollar investment in records I made at the height of my electronic music djing days.
