RIP Adam West
Pretty sad news over this weekend regarding the man who was the first Batman I knew as a little kid. By then Batman was being shown through syndication for afternoon TV. It was so inspirational that my brother and friends often … Continue reading

Happy Birthday Nemo
Our cat Nemo is celebrating his 15th birthday (75 for a human). It’s rather odd to have him be the oldest cat. It feels like yesterday when he was the youngest in 2002. Nemo is the only cat we’ve shared … Continue reading
