One of Greg’s favorite outlets for creativity is planning birthdays and special events. Every year, my birthday consists of clues and puzzles leading me to presents or surprises. A few years back, I received mysterious letters from all incarnations of Batman, theming the gifts together. Then it was characters from … [ more ]

On the first floor of our condo lives a spy… we’re pretty sure. Here’s the burden of proof:

He’s lives in DC, spy capital of the country (according to the video in the Spy Museum downtown).
He’s seldom home. In fact I don’t think I’ve seen him in over a year. … [ more ]

Ever since we watched The Mist and other such films about the world ending, Greg’s been working on his zombie contingency plan. While I have continued to let this be one of Greg’s pet projects, I couldn’t help but notice some of the changes that were happening around the house.
