Disgrace
We finally set up our Twitter feed (see our announcement below)– and just in time too. Today we find out if we are having a boy or girl. I will twitter the event during the ultrasound. This is a big deal since all of the grandchildren on my side are ...

Disarmed
The votes have been tallied in the Arm Shaving Debate:

Wrapped Around Her Finger
The Results are in for the Wedding Ring Debate
Looks like another tough loss. I didn’t really try to propose an argument because I thought a man could decide what he wears--I guess not. Typically we have to stand behind the decision the voters make, but I will ...

Just What I Always Wanted
She Said: I was about to buy that anyway
