Luckiest Husband Ever

December 26th, 2006 · No Comments

Well she did it again. My Wife and I agreed not to spend more than a few bucks on each other this holiday. I got her an electronic Sudoku game and she got me The slickest electric guitar I have ever seen – let alone owned (mine is red)! I spent some [...]

December 19th, 2006 · No Comments

My Wonderful Gigi has given me a little spending money and my wonderful Wife has told me to blow it rather than spending it on tire chains or replacement chain saw pull cords. Here’s what I am going to get:

The Christmas Conundrum Again

December 13th, 2006 · No Comments

It’s that time of year again when I try to figure out what my Aunts and Uncles could possibly want for Christmas. Keep in mind that these are grown adults who (for the most part) have purchased anything under fifty dollars that they want already. Socks say ‘I don’t know you’ and books [...]

Update on BF2142

December 1st, 2006 · No Comments
