  [ click the image to enlarge ] You ask your dearest, “Hon, have you seen my phone?” When you get the casual “no” reply, you hunt around a bit or tear the place apart. Hm. It’ll turn up, you think. You must have left it on silent-mode somewhere odd and forgotten. When you do [...]

Posted by on April 16th, 2012, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

[ click the image to enlarge ] New baby teeth are such a fake out. As a parent, you suffer so much for those little things to come in, so when they do, you almost want to do backflips, build a bonfire and set off fireworks. Maybe we’re talking about me at this point, but [...]

Top 2 Reasons You Don’t Have Nice Things Anymore…

Posted by on February 17th, 2012, under SNAPSHOTS

Years ago I bought a leather executive chair that was blonde-colored. Within a week, Cody (at age 6!) wrote Xuck on it (he missed the top line in the F).

Redneck vs. Baby

Posted by on August 2nd, 2011, under INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGRAMS
