PC Nazis in My Cookie Factory

Gingerbread PEOPLE? Come on, is nothing sacred?!

PC gingerbread? What’s next? First, why the plural on the gender? Even when it was masculine, it wasn’t gingerbread “men,” it was “gingerbread man cookies.” Second, it would be one thing if there were different gender gingerbread folks in the package; maybe some kids, a mommy . . . but no, not even a transgendered twink gingerbread person in evidence - this is false advertising!

First 24 Hours in the life of Tadhg

Wifey, little Tadhg and the rest of us are doing very well. Emotions are running deep and powerfully and I find myself somewhat overwhelmed and at a loss for words at the moment, so this will be a brief update post with a gallery of photos. Just one small item I’ll address: pronunciation for our non-Irish friends who may not have come across the name Tadhg before. Pronounce it by saying “Tiger” without the “er.”
