  • I’m ranting about marriage over at Glitter. Again, just as I start to think it’s something I want to do, somebody has to go and ruin it. In this case it’s a person who thinks that only people who are married or who intend to get married should live together. Otherwise you’re just “wasting time.”…

  • We’re still lacking Internet at home, though the Snook thinks it may have been secretly hooked up. He’s working on cabling the house so hopefully we’ll be back online soon.
