When I was a wee baby, I developed an allergy to milk, or so I’m told (this is all second-hand, mind you, because I was too young to remember it).

Chrissy and I got a new alarm clock yesterday. Technically, it’s the same alarm clock that we’ve had for the last two years, the Homedics SoundSpa Premier, only this one is new.

I have finally gotten my Transformers inventory on my web site. It would have been easy to just upload the Excel spreadsheet to the site, but I wanted to put the content into a database that could be searched.
