They Had Three in the Family

 
Readership, meet Lucy. Lucy, meet our readership. Paul and I just returned from Laramie to pick up the newest member of our family. Lucy lived with Jenn and Phil for a couple of months, but unfortunately, there were some competition/dominance issues and it became clear that Lucy needs to be an only child.

Glue Tech

As a kid I put together plastic models, starting with Snap Tite cars in those crucial post-Star Wars but pre-Playboy years, then flirting with plastic ships of ridiculously small scales for a bit before settling on military aircraft.

Kathryn, obviously, is in gay old San Francisco and yours truly is at home, watching TV and hearing the ghosts [...]

The San Francisco Treat

Greetings from the city by the bay!

The Weekend

We’re back and have a full day of work under our belts after a weekend camping near Laramie. Good times! It was car-camping at its finest; it being the first weekend of elk season (for bow hunters, anyway), Kathryn’s sister’s fiance Dan had already set up a hunting camp complete with cookstoves, 14 by 16 [...]
