Friday evening, the Ski Boy and I attended the very fun and raucous (in a good way), Wild Salmon on Parade 2007 Fish Fry and Auction. It was a total hoot and we ended up the proud owners of not one, but two very big and very unique fish!!!!!!! Of course, we’re now quite a […]

I’m doing a bit of goofin’ around with my blog template. Nothing earth shattering, but I just did add my Twitter Tweets over on the right. I’ll probably move the tweets the center, but I wanted at least get them up and running.
Isaac has been after me for months to start tweeting again. I decided […]

Via Frankie, I just spent five minutes of my work day on taking the Nerd test. Evidently, I’m quite the nerd - but not socially awkward - which is confusing. I thought nerdery and social ineptness were joined at the hip. Hmm….
The one question I regretted not being able to answer “yes” was “Do you […]
