[Sushi pizza, in its just-unmolded glory.] You know, sometimes I wish I had a bunch of posts pre-scheduled for this site.

January 19, 2010 by 31 Comments
Dogs really are creatures of habit, aren’t they? I mean, every morning at precisely 7:02 AM (about 1-1/2 minutes after the HH slams off his alarm), Chaser bounds into our bedroom and lays a wet sloppy one on the HH’s ear (translation: “Dad, it’s time to get up! Get up, Dad, we need to go […]
