While I talked on the phone today with Kristen Boone, I suddenly realized the house was very quiet. Too quiet. I know Isaac well enough to know that this means trouble. I went into the kitchen to find this scene: It’s too bad that he doesn’t find as much pleasure in restoring things to […]

Tom Brady Curse

cross platform toys

The popper will not pop while also providing a home for the giraffe. In related news, the popper WILL blow out cheerios and goldfish crackers, should […]
