We recently held an auction at the Computer Mine. The one thing in the auction that I really coveted was a blue Canon A4000 IS. I’m not a Canon guy at all. However, I’ve been sans point and shoot for a couple years now and there are times (like mission… Read More »New Toy
For the third time in as many years I was an auxiliary member of the award winning competitive barbecue team Baby Got Rack at the Pufferbilly Days Barbecue Contest.

The Inner Willy When Willy found this wig in my basement I made a deal with him (one that DaeHee may recall), if you take it out of the basement, it doesn’t come back to the basement. The wig was a former possession of Jen Gorshe.
