All righty, I admit that I’ve been a little stingy with the Sebastian pictures. But, see, he’s been busy.

As you can see, the boy is very concerned with hanging on to his roots, where his family comes from, who he was…

Mainly, though, he’s been pursuing his hobbies. And though I don’t always approve, […]

Now that “Real Time” is on hiatus, I’ll have some real time to spend around here. Because nothing gives you spare time like a baby.
For those of you who saw this week’s finale, that attack ad against the environment was my season’s swan song.  Or… penguin song, really.  Also, look for more of li’l […]

CROCKER: Gee, Trey, that was close!
TREY: Well, stay frosty, Crocker, because now we’re really heading into the hornets’ nest.
CROCKER: […]

I know - this slow-down was as easily predictable as the economic one we’re currently mired in. Kids take work. Television takes work. But more-or-less regular blogging activities will resume shortly.
