What, you don't think this is kinda cool?

Fairy Swatter

My good friend at Archie McPhee's sent me this Fairy Swatter, complete with a variety of plastic fairies (sold separately).

Reminds me of a short story I wrote many years ago...

Important Notice to Verizon Users

If you are a Verizon Wireless user, you should be aware that Verizon recently sent you a user agreement update where they cryptically notified you (in the midst of a page full of fine print legalese) that they were about to start selling your personal information to third party partners.

You can opt out of this "service", but they do not provide any instructions about how to opt out, and it's a bit of a maze to get it done. Luckily the good folks at BoingBoing figured it out and posted some on their site:

How to opt-out of Verizon's personal info-selling scheme

I don't use Verizon myself (and hope I never, ever have to), but I thought I'd spread the word to the people that matter most (my readers!).

Cheers!

A weekend trip to Seattle and a sunny day lent itself to a little photo-documentation of the pregnancy.

Isn't she super-cute??

Scooter the Magnificent Act 2

Did I mention Scooter really likes to problem solve? He figures out this multi-part solution pretty quickly too!

A few years ago I saw a show about the 10 smartest animals in the world. Squirrels were on the list at #10, but cats weren't (a fact that we used to tease Oscar about mercilessly). But I think this demonstrates that Scooter could best the average squirrel with out too much trouble.
