OK, nobody move. I seem to have misplaced my pocket knife. Has anybody seen it? I know I had it when I left the restaurant tonight. Of course I checked the couch cushions. I even picked it up to look under the couch. Yes, even the heavy fold-out bed portion. Nothing. Man, I hope it’s…

I was talking to my mom the other day, and she mentioned taking a short day-trip up into Canada this summer. Well, I don’t have a passport, and I’m fairly certain that with all the fear mongering and terrah™ BS that’s been used to desecrate the constitution these past few years that even to go…

Descanso Gardens looks like a good day trip, and they have festival of flowers going on through May 18th. I’ll have to mark my calendar.

Response is spelled with all S’s. There are no C’s in the word response. Get it right you simp! (Posting to my blog worked so well in teaching me how to spell restaurant, I figured I’d try it with response as well).
