Usually when I can’t sleep I turn on the History Channel and let myself fade away. Lately they’ve been showing a lot of Vietnam war documentaries around the time that I go to bed. The last thing I watched was about the Tunnel Rats, US soldiers who went down in underground tunnel networks with a…

Last night I decided to experiment and make myself a new kind of sandwich for today’s lunch. I’d never had a peanut butter and banana sandwich, but I like peanut butter, and I like bananas, so I figured I couldn’t go wrong. I just ate it. It wasn’t that great. I shouldn’t have tried to…

Super Puzzle Fighter is the current company favorite. Unfortunately the control panel died this morning…The good news is that it’s still under warranty, so we’ll…
