Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a girl named Shmritt.
Shmritt was best friends with a boy named Shmadam, and they did everything together.  Shmritt and Shmadam had other friends – lots of friends, really – but they always knew that they were each other’s best friends.  And that was [...]

Dear Adam,
I just got word from your wife that your minor outpatient sugery is over and you’re fine.  Except for pooping on the table, you came through with flying colors and will be resting comfortably at your mommy’s house tonight.

It’s no secret around the Internet that two of my best friends in the entire world are bloggers. If you’ve been reading here for any length of time, you already know that I absolutely adore Adam and Amy.
(If you’re new here – HI! Everyone, say “Hi” to the newcomers. “Hi Newcomers!”)
Here’s something [...]

I may have given the internet the impression that I like gifts. Maybe.
I may have made a joke or two about how everything has a price – especially my loyalty and affection. Perhaps.
