Save the Middleman! I don't know if anyone who reads my blog (all three of you) watch "The Middleman" on ABC Family, but it is a smart, funny, way-out-there TV show that Amanda and I love. And it may be in danger of being canceled!

Go to http://abcfamily.go.com and ask them to bring back this show!

Goodbye, Caramel
Emily's pet hamster, Caramel, died Thursday morning as we gave it medicine. It was 1-1/2 years old. She had been sick for about a week; unfortunately, we didn't realize she was sick until she had progressed too far. Emily has been devastated, but her friends have been great to her, supportive in so many ways.

Caramel, our first family pet, will be sorely missed.
