It's a fact, Jack!
| Top Tips for May
Bathroom:
Pour a little shot of Pine-Sol or Lemon Lysol into drains. The whole room smells good.
Kitchen:
A bowl of ice cubes down the disposal keeps its blades sharp and clean.
Home office:
Have a dedicated file for your passport for those times you have to blow the country fast.
Bedroom:
Forget hospital corners. Only Martha Stewart cares.
Relationships: Try to stay away from girls who have a "stage name." At least for long-term relationships.
Organizing:
Always put wallet, keys and cell phone in the same place in your entryway.
Interior design:
Mirrored ceiling in the bedroom... oh, so out.

CLAM welcomes Angelo, a 2-yr.-old Australian Shepherd who's had a tough life so far but just hit the dog lottery. He's a total lover - gentle, intelligent and mellow. Angelo joins Coco, who also got off to a rocky start but has been treated like the Queen of England for 13 years now.
Angelo is deaf, so I won't be able to bounce ideas off him during brainstorming sessions. But I'm sure he'd love 'em. Coco always has.
Coco and Angelo say: "Fight puppy mills, adopt an older dog, and hey...throw us a bone now and then."
