Little People, Big World

From day one, this show has intrigued me. This is a reality-type show about a family living in Oregon, where the parents happen to be little people. They have 4 kids, only one who is a little person, and the rest are of average size. It truly is an inspiring show. [...]

Black Plague, oh-uh I mean. . .Black Friday.

Perhaps I’m losing my sense of risk and adventure in my old age, but nothing about “Black Friday” appeals to me. Sure, it would be nice to buy $200 worth of gifts for half the price, but what is the TRUE price? Here are the true costs of shopping on Black Friday:
1. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving 2006!

Lame Duck Pardons Turkey

The Presidential Pardon. I bet the White House dreaded this day - all they needed was another topic for bloggers to joke about. But you have to admit, this deserves comment. Since it’s so easy, I’m going to leave it alone - but I will say that the expressions on their face [...]

Where Were You When. . .

43rd Anniversary of the JFK Assassination’>
This week marks the 43rd anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which poses the question, “where were you when Kennedy was shot?” Though this question does not apply to those of us born after November 22, 1963, it can be used for many other events [...]

Hypothetically Speaking. . .

We may never know the exact guilt or innocence of OJ. It seems to me that a man guilty of murder who got away with it would carry that guilt their entire life. Carrying such a burden, it seems, would be a difficult journey. Did OJ simply need the millions he made [...]

A Much-Needed Shower

Erin and I attend a baby shower in Weston’s honor on Saturday night. It was organized by some of the people from our church. There were several people there and we had a great time. Weston received lots of gifts, all of which we needed. His room is now busting at [...]

The Dog Whisperer

Anyone with a dog should watch this show. It gives great insight to dog behavior and psychology. We have actually had great success with Max in our daily walks based on the information we’ve gained from this show. You’ll gain a new respect for dogs, and be reminded how stupid people can [...]

Sell This House

Each week, we enjoy watching Sell This House, an A&E home improvements show where home design guru, Roger Hazard comes in and helps home-sellers “stage: their home for quick-sell. Unlike many of the other home improvement shows, he actually creates a lot with very little - most of the time using only things they [...]

Benson - An 80’s classic

On the nights or afternoons when we can’t find anything to watch, I refer to a childhood favorite - Benson. I love the zany happenings of the Governor’s mansion, the feuds between Benson, Clayton, and Krouse, and of course the dim-witted personality of Governor Gatling. TV Land is always one of my favorites, [...]
