It sounds very festive. And strong. I may have to try it this winter just to see what the fireball does in it. Read more

The contrasting expressions between the dog and kitten are amazing.

If they ever go to single payer, so many companies are going to have trouble keeping their employees.

Growing up in the snow belt south of Buffalo, we had a few years where the snow was up to the roof. There were a couple years we went sledding off the barn across the street.

I’ve done them at work. Mostly they involve half of us putting in cash for some breakfast pizzas to be delivered and others bringing in pastries and juices and fruit. Then everyone’s in a food coma all day.

Don’t forget the director’s followup to Watership Down - Plague Dogs.
