  • Get a Grip

    Get a Grip 1, originally uploaded by toddlyons. My wife loves me, This I know, For her gag gifts Tell me so.

  • Android Video Player Roundup 2010

    I captured this one myself, so I can vouch for the authenticity.  Silly Google.

    Hard to feel good about my day when my morning involves disciplining kids who'd also rather stay in bed. # Hard to feel good about coming home from work each day when I'm asked to discipline the kids for whatever they did while I've been away. # @live885fm Catfish's uglies are seriously fugly some days.…

    Trying to finally make the time to watch the Doctor Who reboot. Christopher Eccleston is likeable. Too bad he only did one season.
