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... :-(

Never mind... took a closer look and figured it out -- what a clever one he is!

I didn't like Brokeback Mountain

I know I'm a number of years too late to be talking about this, but I finally happened to see Brokeback Mountain and I have to say I didn't like it terribly much.

stupid water

I guess I'm just not cut out for dealing with anything the slightest bit stressful. Well, I already knew that.
