The End of Innocence

March 13th, 2005 at age three years and a week shy of two months.  That's when James got his first actual haircut by a professional. Here's a picture I secured of this monumental event.  The plan was for the two of us to make it until May but neither of

The Crosby Show

Periodically I like to check in on 17-year-old phenom Sidney Crosby and see how he's doing in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.  On Friday night, Crosby put on a clinic scoring three goals and adding four assists.  Crosby's seven-point night lifted his league-leading point-total to 152. Last night, Crosby

Won't Get Fooled Again

A couple of months ago I wrote about my search for sugar free bubble gum.  A couple of days ago, I visited our local Wal*Mart to pick up a few items.  As always when I visit a Wal*Mart, I paid a visit to the gum rack hoping the

Les Triplettes de Belleville

Les Triplettes de Belleville: 7.5 out of 10. Finally, a good movie.  "Les Triplettes de Belleville" was a pleasure to watch and a pleasure to listen to.  What's amazing is the fact there's virtually no dialogue and this only adds to the tone.  James would concur. It's quirky, funny

SLS Domain

What's in a name?  That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. If Bill Shakespeare were blogging today, he'd be asking what's in a domain name.  Who can blame him?  Securing the proper domain name for your site is half the battle. Today we

#7

The San Diego Chargers have released quarterback Doug Flutie.  This may mark the end of the 42 year old's career. I only own one football jersey, and that's a #7 Buffalo Bills Doug Flutie.  There were so many reasons to root for the diminutive quarterback.  There's the hail mary pass

Starsky & Hutch

Starsky & Hutch: 4.5 out of 10. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson show up in some funny flicks.  Not this time though.  "Starsky & Hutch" was a comedy that's completely void of any comedic instances.  It's as if the writers forgot the jokes completely. What a waste of a
