Abigail is an Older Cousin

The Dorton clan celebrated Thanksgiving with more-than-usual cheer yesterday. We received news that Daniel and Wendy's baby has arrived and they are off even as we speak to pick him up. We are very excited to welcome William Jackson Dorton to the family. We'll certainly need to arrange for William and Abigail to be best friends!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Boy, Did They Really Find Me

A while back, I mentioned that my dreamed-up software company caught the attention of credit card companies and banks across the United States. It has been getting better, and funnier, since then.  I suppose one might consider placing my dream company's title in our DNS record to be a subtle and superb marketing strategy...

Our latest client: Smith's Food & Drug Stores. We received in the mail today a letter asking Having trouble deciding what to give your employees or clients this holiday season? We have the perfect answer. The answer? A Smith's Gift Certificate or Gift Card; it's the ideal gift.

Now, I cannot argue with the simple truth that a Gift Card is an ideal gift. A gift card from one of my old college jobs came as a real life-saver one Christmas. However, considering that the name K-B-Rimington Productions was made public only by my DNS record, I am thoroughly stunned to receive this kind of solicitation by none other than Smith's.

Sigh.

I suppose it will never end. At any rate, it's a jolly joke!
