Too many signs everywhere! Hurts my head, it's like I have to read every single taped up piece of paper in a joint before I talk to someone who says "did you read the sign?".

I know, I sound just like the song.

I know my son would love a pitching machine too! When we get out of the city I want to set one up in the backyard. He'd probably set up a tent next to it and I'd never see him again.

I always forget how terrible it is to throw up until it happens. At those moments I think I would legitimately make a deal with the devil if it stopped the vomiting. Feel better soon and here's to another 10 years of no troubles!

I bet it sucks for the band too. Do you think ZZ Top wants to play loud, boisterous music for a bunch of people sitting on their butts like they are at the opera?

Would you simply banish soccer here in the U.S.? You see, I believe that would go virtually unnoticed by the masses here in America, but there would be an epic hit out on you by every other country on the planet.

I am heading to the nearest hardware store post haste. My kid goes through one insulted lunch bag per month, it's ridiculous. I'd love to see how long a sturdy paper bag lasts in his clutches.

I went to a nutritionist, (for my 11 year old who has always been slow to gain weight), who told me not to be a grinch about sugary cereals, at least they have lots of vitamins! I was a little surprised at that, but okay.

I never got it as a kid either, my parents were the kind that made me eat whole grain everything, including that uber-nutty bread that to this day I loathe. Honestly, sugared cereals just don't taste that good, but I always have a box or two around for a late night snack. Favorites include cocoa krispies and lucky charms. Cap'n crunch's flavor is amazing too, but texturally it's like eating razor blades.

I have a real problem with gum. It's disgusting in every way. Watching people chew it with wide open mouths, the loud popping some folks insist on inflicting on the rest of us, the people who spit it wherever they happen to be standing so I can step/drive in it. Singapore is my utopia. At the very least you shouldn't be allowed to chew gum when your on the clock. I don't need my dental hygenist, hairdresser, cashier, etc. smacking away in my face when I can't do a thing about it.

And those poor baseball players can eat sunflower seeds.

Evidently the Klingon's have taken over San Diego this weekend as well. These are the new trolley signs downtown right now. I knew ComicCon brought in a lot of money but I kind of can't believe they did this.

Calvin and Hobbes? I adored that strip and now love reading compilations from the perspective of a parent.

These days I like Pooch Cafe and the Duplex, not sure if you run them in Albany.

The Far Side was sublime.
