I think the British TV show “The IT Crowd” is hilarious, but everyone I have sent the link to doesn’t think so. Please watch, if you have 20 minutes (and if your Vicki and at work, you do), and let me know if you think it is… well, funny: (The Work Outing, part 1) (The […]

I don’t want to panic anyone, but I seem to have lost my iPod. I have looked everywhere I can think it would have taken off to; under the seat of my car, in Ben’s treasure chest, or in Sunday’s handbag. No sign of it. It looks like this: and has playlists with the following […]
