Posted on September 30, 2005 by Steve

Vegas Day Two: Gaining Momentum

Posted on September 30, 2005 by Steve

The day was pretty cool with a start at Paris for breakfast because I usually like that meal the least, but they spoil you at the buffet. Crepes made-to-order, veal sausage, pate and other unusual delights French people (allegedly) cook. … Continue reading →

Cat Litter Conversion

Posted on September 17, 2005 by Steve

Maybe this should be called Poop-pourri! For the last few weeks I have converted the cats over from clay and wheat-based litter to pine. My friend Mark (Millard) converted his cats earlier and recommended it. At first it’s a bit … Continue reading →

Two new adventures

Posted on September 14, 2005 by Steve
