halloween has the right idea being on the 31st. you can look forward to it for the month, then move on. i propose we move bonfire night to the end of november, christmas to the end of december, and delay new year's eve until the end of january so it's not such a bust

I have probably taken tens of thousands of my dog Bento at this point, but this picture of Bento finding an abandoned lobster trap on the beach will always be in the top ten. I repost it whenever I stumble across it. Just look how excited he is.

A dishwasher is already a robot that does your dishes

just chucked a skeleton-on-string out the upstairs window and was heading out the front door to see how it looked, when i heard little gasp and "daddy that one looks scary, i think we should knock there!". so i had to quickly close the door again and wait with a big grin on my face
