April Fools
Our son’s company (Redtail Technologies <—–shameless fatherly plug) is well known as a very dog-friendly employer. So much so that its Sacramento headquarters has its own dog park, employees are […]
Morning Exercise
Today I got an email from SilverSneakers which is a program that provides to Seniors free access to a number of gyms and health clubs. SilverSneakers is a feature of […]

Intruder
What is this orange thing? Can I eat it? No? Well, then, maybe I’ll just attack it.
