When we arrived at the Long Beach airport in May for our family’s Disneyland vacation, our plane had to sit on the runway for an hour and a half waiting for one of the three parking spots to open up so we could exit the vehichle. We were cramped, hot, annoyed and tired by [...]

Today Magoo marked his territory in the baked goods isle of The Family Grocer. It’s much “grosser” now than it was before.
He stood next to me as I perused the canning supplies and suddenly let out a huge, “OH. NO!”
I looked down to see a yellow puddle growing below him. Apparently he [...]
