Wednesday 20 January 2010 @ 1:47 am

I was watching the Unknown Baby Boy today while the Unknown Wife went to physical therapy (she recently threw her back out - luckily, it’s gotten better). So, I got to my office later than expected. When I did, it was raining a bit, and the faculty lot behind my building was full
