I saw the following on ESPN.com today, and it made me chuckle: Penguins sign Fleury, agree to contract with Satan Now, the Penguins didn’t make a deal with the Devil himself. Miroslav Satan’s last name is actually pronounced “Shatan,” but the link did make me chuckle. Hopefully it makes someone else laugh too.

We just returned from Williamsport, where we watched Ben Stein’s new documentary, Expelled, with our friend Mara.

2008

Something always puzzles me about the credit card scanners at our local Wal Mart. In fact I’m not even sure if that’s the correct term for them, but for the purpose of this post, it will suffice. What always gets me is that the scanner knows when you’ve swiped a debit card, and it proceeds ...
