Since I spent last weekend in the self-indulgent partaking of excessive golf away from my wife and kidlings, I decided that today would be a good day to play the even-it-up card. With that in mind, I chose to devote myself to some good old-fashioned family time and took the whole day off from work. … Continue reading This place is a (real) zoo!

Why doesn't Caillou have hair? I've been pondering this one for awhile, and it just simply defies understanding. Caillou is a sweet, pleasant, theoretically four year-old kid, yet he's as bald a baby's bottom. So what gives?
