Hell, Scott, most days I don't even reach the paper-fastener nunchuk level of achievement.

Recent conversation with Brenda: me: "It's nice to meet you!" Brenda: "It's nice to meet you too!" As Steve mentioned, Kelly and I drove up to Orlando on Friday night to have dinner with the vacationing West family. Go »

Those ceiling fans are dangerous.
