The Bearfender!
Sat, 15 Nov 2008: [Here's a self-indulgent yet compelling note I added to my Facebook profile yesterday.]

It occurs to me I should explain about the bear that I had to fend off with a spatula. Well, here's the story. Me and Matt got to Yosemite Saturday around 11am and set up camp and then it rained.

No I don't mean laid off as the CEO of kurttrue.com. I mean laid off from an actual job!

Except last weekend for some reason, the kid didn't want to go to the zoo. I think it's because he wanted to ride his Spiderman scooter, which his grandma gave him for Christmas.
