We’ll be having a few people over tonight for a NY party. This is one of the few places where children are welcome so it will be both fun and [relatively] wholesome.

The broadband customer has no idea that hundreds or thousands of messages [...]

I’ve always found this topic extremely interesting but it also always seems to tie my brain into knots. Like how smart do you have to be to comprehend the potential existence of “quantum foam” or have a logical (but unproven) [...]

I didn’t mean GB would beat Denver by 3, I meant they would hold Denver to 3.:) All I can say is, “Woohooo!”. And the Cardinals helped us all out by defeating the Vikings in a last second score. Things are looking good for Cheesie people like me. I love football!

I added a category to record my spam fun. The articles won’t bubble up to the main level but you’re free to check in from time to time if you care about the little woes of this little company.
