Animals in the news (no, not K-Fed)

Don’t worry – Mozart has two.
Test tube baby weighs in at a cuddly 128 lbs.
And I thought it was a dog eat dog world.
If 33 is old I’m more depressed than ever at recently turning 40 (and a half, for those that know me).
I believe I’ll stick with acupuncture.

State of the Union

Time to think! Go to the official 2007 State of the Union Predictions quiz and make your picks. I can’t remember exactly how I did last year – but I think it was passable. You’ll find questions like “What color will President Bush’s necktie be?” to “Who will be seated with the First Lady and [...]

Jailbird

The Department of Natural Resources did not know whether [...]

2007

I, for one, am thrilled a new year has started. The last one ended poorly, you see. The littlest blue duck had pneumonia the day before Christmas – which meant a Saturday trip to the doctor for a chest x-ray and two GIGANTIC shots (one per thigh). Predictably, both of us became sick the day [...]
