Looking forward to an forthcoming event at work I took in some Krispy Kreme hats into the office. Today I put one on and was joking around with Hugh, one of the counsellors, Jason as usual had his camera on him and took a picture. A larger picture can be found on his website here.

I didn’t feel any better than yesterday really, still aching all over and my tongue in a bad way too. The worst part is tying up my shoe laces and eating food. Yes bending down is difficult. However, I did manage to go over to our doctors which is currently on the other side of [...]

Gary Coleman Gay?
Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
As a fan of tv program Diff’rent Strokes I was surprised to read in the New York Times that a documentary is suggesting that Gary Coleman is gay. The documentary is called “Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of ‘Diff’rent Strokes’” and was on NBC this week. Gary certainly has had the most colorful of [...]
