Neat! Now see if you can get him to take out the trash and clean the bathroom... :-)

Yay, Philip!!! Um... don't know if it's just me, but I can't see the second link... :-(

Crawlspace

Darrell just ordered an Atari on ebay. It just felt good to get annoyed with my mom first :) The guys are so excited looking over all the additional Atari games they could buy.

Our dog is smart

Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart.

Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »
