New Addition
I guess you might know if you visited this site and looked at the fllickr gallery plugin. But why would you visit this site? I haven’t posted in a while. I’m a bad monkey.
Anyway, wanted to record that… we have a puppy. His name is Pippin. Some notes - he’s [...]
Presenting… Confusion

Keep your chin up!
I’ve pinned this article from Men’s Health to my workout board. Ah, the dreaded chinup.

Pictures from Houston
My mother and stepfather live in Houston, and were there when Hurricane Ike blew through. Their property damage was not that bad. Here’s a picture from their rental property. The biggest damage was to the fence.
Through a series of unfortunate events, my roadster is down there awaiting repairs. It also survived [...]
