barrington99@gmail.com Michael Vick…He’s this football player who was convicted of running a dog-fighting ring. He just got out of jail and was recruited by the Philadelphia Eagles (I think).

Some of you will remember my brief (okay, and admittedly ongoing, or it will be when it’s no longer ninety degrees out) love affair with the Slanket. A residual side effect of the Slanket affair is that I have been added to the Solutions catalog mailing list. So every few months, I get the catalog … Read more

Instead, I think I will try to creep over to Paul’s computer (he is out watching Transformers) and try to check out … Read more
Over the past couple of years, a few people have noted having trouble adding my blog to their RSS feeders. I have recently updated the template for this blog.
