Oh, and I got two new Tweets from Eric Idle of Monty Python… so for those of you keeping score of my celebrity Twitter stalking… that’s 6 from Eric Idle, 1 from William Shatner, 2 from Ricky Gervais, 1 from James May of Top Gear, and 4 from Dana Carvey, who is still following me on Twitter for some unknown reason… but still no love from Hugh Laurie, dang it.

101 things you can do on that post where we are trying to break the record for the most comments on a WordPress post… even though WordPress can’t or won’t tell us exactly what that record is… but all of these ideas have been tested and they work, and now that I think about it, I might as well try to break the record for longest title on a WordPress post because for some reason, WordPress seems to give us unlimited room on the topic wall pages when it comes to the titles… and that sounds like a loophole, if you ask me… oh, and the comment post now has 28,078 comments on it, if you care, which is way more than some posts that went viral because the post was about something so nasty that people had to visit it just to insult the writer… and we did all of ours with love and rainbows and unicorns…

  The comment record post is a great place to:   1. Meet new people… and lure them to your blog where you can keep them prisoner with your charm and wit 2. Release your inner demons 3. Act out … Continue reading

Travel should be like a good stage show… it should always leave you wanting more…

Whenever we went down to the beach at our hotel on Maui, to snorkel or take a romantic walk or to watch a sunset, I would always take a moment to gaze wistfully at the little islands in the distance… … Continue reading

And now, despite the fact that she asked me to never put her in my blog again, except for that one picture of her on the day we were married, I give you a bunch of pictures of my wife… on Maui… on our second honeymoon… because I just love her that much…

Isn’t she beautiful? And she always looks so happy. I guess you can see where my daughters get their good looks. It was that smile that first attracted me to her. I mean, who doesn’t love that smile? There she … Continue reading
