Cluster ballooning, if you don’t already know, is when you tether yourself up to about 50 to 150 helium balloons and take off up into the heavens. For more information, visit clusterballoon.org.

I think I saw this on a Saturday morning cartoon. Where do I pick up the blow dart?

Thinking I should acclaim myself a canine specialist, I chose the monicker “dog whisperer”. Dana rained on that parade telling me it was already copyrighted. So, … I’m the “dog whimperer”, instead.

What do you think?

Should I get one of these doggie backpacks next time I take care of Pete, the old Jack Russell who will not chase after my bike?

Note: Pete asked me to point out that that’s not him in the photo.

Got an email from a cute chick. What do you think?

… Not the $7 million. I know that is a scam.

But what about the free photos?

Are you getting sick of “Big Festivus”.

The festival for the rest-of-us is too commercial. We need a Festivus alternative.
