Being an only child, Nyack is not use to sharing Originally uploaded by kjdrill I received a google alert about a Flikr photo set about a family of Lions at the San Diego Zoo and one feisty kitten in particular named Nyack.

Southern Fried Weirdness

I was born in North Carolina and spent summers in Garden City, South Carolina when I was a kid. I stayed up the street from Mickey Spillane’s house. (Years later I met Spillane’s niece who claimed to remember me.) Although I’ve lived most of my life within an easy bus ride from New York City […]

It all tends to go off at the same time and I have seen users who cannot get any work done […]
