Posted by dougwood on Jan 23, 2012 in Journal | 2 comments ShareOne of my New Year’s resolutions was to blog more. And look how that’s turning out… I am certain many of you have been waiting with bated breath (or ‘baited’ breath perhaps) for the next HILARIOUS post and I have let you down. For this I am truly sorry. Okay, not so much. But the good news is that I have been a busy, busy bee, making capital-A Art, working on...

Posted by dougwood on Jan 1, 2012 in Journal | 3 comments ShareYou know how other people blabber on about their dreams and ruin it for people like me who have really fascinating ones?

Blog Wars: The Waistline Strikes Back

Posted by dougwood on Nov 24, 2011 in Journal | 4 comments ShareI won’t say how much I weigh, but it ends with a 6. That was before Tuesday night. Now it’s up to 8. One meal, two pounds.
