when I started this blog five years ago, I was a pet sitter and the name animal-crackers made sense. now I'm a stay-at-home-dad and freelance writer, but rather than confuse everyone by getting a different blog, it's just easier to keep posting things here.

So I'm experimenting with blog templates. Can I just say that Blogspot template choices suck.

For several months my blog put people to sleep with some beige-on-beige concoction. Then a few days ago I switched to something crossed between the Matrix and black tar heroin. Too creepy.

Now I'm with what appears to be Syracuse Orangemen Computer Geek. Too orange? Too geek?

Sigh. The search continues.
