Yes we had breakfast for dinner. I am not ashamed to say so. In all honesty, I love eating breakfast at all times of the day and night. The delicious new Denny's Diner pancake stacks are 50 percent more fluffy than the old recipe. I can totally believe this having seen and tasted them first hand.

Remember when I got to go visit Dreamworks Animation studios? Beyond seeing Voltron I got to meet with the awesome creative team behind Dreamworks Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh.

We said goodbye for the last time to Phoebe this morning, June 9th. She will be deeply missed in our home.

I remember when the original Independence Day movie was released in 1996. I watched that movie at least a 100 times once it hit VHS. You read that right, my first copy of the flick was on those old tapes.
