Seeing as I am an experienced accountant, I do Liz’s taxes every year.  It’s just a part of our friendship contract; Liz does the dishes, I do the taxes. So I thought I would make Liz’s embarrassing financial secrets available to the public, as a part of my ongoing effort to destroy Liz and everything [...]

As promised, here is a photo essay chronicling my dramatic new haircut, which was performed by no other than Liz (with help from Chris)! As you can see, I started out with medium-length hair. The plan was for Liz and Chris to give me a mohawk before taking it all off, with the final goal [...]

We all remember the delightful antics of young Goofus and Gallant, as documented in the children’s magazine “Highlights for Children.” Well, here’s a look at them a few years down the line.
