I finally saw that CHRONICles of Narnia video from SNL the other day, and although I’m not entirely sure WHY it’s funny, it rather cracked me up. It’s the feel good comedy of the season! A short search did not yield a site hosting it (apparently you can download it from itunes for money or [...]

Oregonian
So I am home in Oregon for Christmas! It’s wet here. I took the dog for a walk and had to wear a rain coat. When we got home, there was so much rain on the raincoat I was afraid to go inside because I might get everything wet. So I brushed the water off [...]
