A Wandering Eyre

While searching the Internets for founts of information Saturday, Mr. Rochester and I were perplexed by Google’s logo which featured a UFO abducting one of the Os. Apparently, we were not the only ones confused, as there was no text explaining the graphic.

I would assume this was a joke. Strangely, it is neither April nor a joke, though it may indeed be a farce.

–Jane, typing with wee bairn on her lap

Just a wee bit of silly for your day. I thought you would all enjoy Ask A Ninja on Terminal Papers.
–Jane, looks forward to plagiarizing you soon

In the Rochester household, there are a few months that are sacred in terms of planning events. Aggie Football season (that is college football season for those who do not know) and March Madness. Both our wedding and the birth of the first Little Rochester will avoid these fine events. Why? you ask. Well, because [...]

Unshelved makes a reference to George and Spiderman in the same strip. Maybe George really is Peter Parker?
–Jane, happy Friday
