It’s a fact: The McMullens have not been known to like or appreciate animals. I however do like animals, not to the point of going to Save the Mink rallies or anything, but I respect the fact that we share the planet with other creatures.

I’m suffering from Blogger’s Block. I want to blog… but can’t. I’m starting to put too much pressure on myself with this… Sigh.

We learned a lot about each [...]
