Streaking
Probably shouldn’t bother posting tonight, as I’m already in bed, halfway to sleep, and I know I have nothing of worth to say right now, but I’m unwilling to give up my November posting streak. Gabe’s “reluctance” (yes, let’s call … Continue reading

Oh, dear
ERIC (to Gabe): “Can you push the VCR button on the receiver?” GABE: “V…C…R.” ERIC: “You don’t even know what a VCR is.” GABE: “I do so!” ME: “Okay, challenge accepted. Gabe, what is a VCR?” GABE: “It’s a button … Continue reading
