Tue, 4 March 2008 In this week's batch of Monster Cookies we attempt to stay under 40 minutes (and come darn close). We
talk about being handymen, getting pulled along in the current, parenting a strong-willed child, Amber's
stable weight, the election (probably not your election though), how to ship cookies, and review a
parenting podcast for adults

Election Update: As of Tuesday morning, the Liberal candidate in our riding (Always a bridesmaid,
never a bride) has apparently won his seat by 98 votes - out of over 10,000.
