Last night I found Collen sleeping on the couch upstairs, using Mickey Mouse as a pillow.

I’m hoping someday to get back to posting something more substantial than my daily tweets, but for now this will have to do.

Day 4… Vendors are throwing swag at people left and right. No one wants to drag anything back with them. Unfortunately the list for today should have one more item on it. I was informed that my name was called at a drawing for an Xbox 360. Probably one that required you to be present. Sigh… Wait… Just received email that I won a BlackJack II!
