One day long ago, my brother pulled into Bluffton in his aging Volvo, a bike carrier on the back. On the carrier was a tandem bicycle that suggested his trip wasn't as easy as usual. He admitted that passing trucks in the hills of VA and West VA was a bit on the dicey side.

The current generation of video game consoles has teamed up with the internet to deliver a new (to consoles, at least) medium known as Downloadable Content (DLC).

There is but one full bath in our house. Which - depending on one's perspective - can be a good thing or a bad thing. Most of the time it's not a big deal...except when two girls and their guys are visiting, or when two of us are vying for the sink at the same time.
On the other hand, given the statistics that spouses speak to each other only 11 minutes a day, a single full bath per household might increase those numbers. Might increase the divorce rate too.
