Here’s something Joe might enjoy, since he’s a big, big, ginormous Stitch fan. I was telling David the other day about how Disney World has changed “Alien Encounter” into “Stitch’s Great Escape,” and here’s the little blue guy just in time for Christmas.

Ow. For some reason my neck really hurts today. Probably too much time spent unched over, reading webpages. Also, it starts hurting if I try to use my cell phone for a lot of texting, wich is not good because it locked up and had to be swapped out for a new one. Thank goodness [...]
