Awhile back, maybe a year or more, my friend Chaun and/or my goddaughter Taylor sent me a link to this goofy little video entitled Crazy Frog.  It was a hit thing in Europe and also cited as one of the most annoying things ever.  As an attempt to distract Emily from something else, I showed [...]

My lovely wife had an evening on the town with her girlfriends last weekend.  As is always the case when women get together, they talked about men. Amongst this group, i always seem to come out smelling like a rose.
