When my sister was born, I thought she looked like a complete sloth. I had done extensive research on the species, as only an almost three-year-old could: I read scanned pictures in a book called Zoo Babies. Looking back, she takes offense to this comparison. …

Today: Be cool.
Clark has a message for everyone out there surfing this heat wave: Just be cool. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp0QEMwNJEs&hl=en&fs=1] And that’s why they call it… the doggie paddle. If you can’t don a sweet red life vest and swim around in the shallow end, here are a few…

Today: Birthday boys.
This post will be short and sweet (but not nearly as sweet as the two pounds of frosting I used for last night’s cake… whoops.) Today marks the 30th birthday of a very important person, and the 1st birthday of a very important non-person. I…

Today: Oh, crap.
I was walking from my office to a meeting early this morning, about to pass through our garage, when suddenly a passing bird pooped directly on my forehead. The parking attendant on duty caught the tail (feathered) end of the situation, seeing me holding my…
