The AdHole

My wife, Pancake the Wonderdog and I are about to head out on our whirlwind Grand Christmas Caravan 2006 in which we drive to Kansas City for Christmas, then to southeast Iowa (Megan’s folks) for more Christmas, then back to KC before eventually making it back to Dallas. I’m already tired.

Yes, yes, I know. Just one short day after inviting you to open your collective joyhole and shout, “Merry Christmas,” I’m now instructing you to pipe down and do some advertising. Well, remain calm. I’m not speaking to all of you.

Actually, lots of comments. Apparently, I had turned on comment moderation whilst in some late-night stupor induced by watching one-too-many AbLoungeXL infomercials. So about 20 or so comments from the past six weeks or so were backed up in the plumbing (Google’s, not mine). I’ve plunged them free, so rejoice or something. I dunno. There […]
