best Chinese menu *ever* (I think I ought to post this one as a stand-alone, actually... it probably deserves it!)

Where's The Winch?

We took the girls sailing today. Unlike last year, Olivia did not throw a winch handle overboard because of our diligence in preventing it. The sailing is still free because of the heart of the owner who offers this once a month during the summer. Go »
