For The Sixth Time

Saturday, September 30th, 2006 @ 9:44 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

The Boy was the top runner on his team at their weekly cross country meet. I have been really impressed with his consistency; especially considering that he has been battling several nagging injuries. He considers himself a wrestler but he has turned into a fine runner with a lot of hard work in [...]

HNT – 58

Thursday, September 28th, 2006 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

It has rained quite a bit around here in recent weeks so California Girl and I have spent a lot of time outside in our heavy weather gear at high school sporting events. Since it looks like more of the same this coming weekend, California Girl and I thought that we would do something fun [...]

Two For Tuesday – 53

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006 @ 2:07 am | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Today is actually the one year anniversary of Two For Tuesday and we had planned to do an “anniversary special” but we have been very busy lately and the mouse on our computer broke so we just took a few quick photographs before moving on to “other things”. The photos don’t really fit together so [...]

Ask MCB/CG Day – 14

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006 @ 4:27 am | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

Today is ask MCB/CG day. We try and do this once a month for any new readers. Everyone is welcome to ask a question. I should have done this yesterday but fell asleep watching MNF. (I was when I woke up that the team I was rooting for won.) This is the fifteenth time that [...]

Where Did The Weekend Go?

Sunday, September 24th, 2006 @ 11:31 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

With all of the rain this week, The Girl’s soccer game for this weekend was postponed due to unplayable field conditions. So California Girl and I unexpectedly had some free time this weekend. The Boy had a VERY muddy cross country meet which we attended but, otherwise, we spent the weekend at home. [...]

HNT – 57

Thursday, September 21st, 2006 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

I mentioned in our most recent Two For Tuesday post that we like to enjoy a relaxing soak in the whirlpool tub from time to time. I was very busy with work this past Tuesday and didn’t have much time for our HNT photo session. So, we decided to take photographs of us [...]

Two For Tuesday – 52

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006 @ 3:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

I had a lot of work to do on Tuesday. In fact, I ended up working through the night. But I did take a break for pizza and sex, although not necessarily in that order. I know that it is Wednesday afternoon; but I am just glad that I found the time to post these [...]

Too Wet To Go Out, Too Cold To Play Ball

Monday, September 18th, 2006 @ 10:33 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

Unfortunately it was neither of those things tonight. I know now that they play soccer in monsoons. It was pouring rain (but no lighting) so The Girl’s team played their game today. I’ve been home for quite a while and I still feel soggy. And I had a rain coat on. All the girls had [...]

New Toys for The Kids

Saturday, September 16th, 2006 @ 5:20 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

The kids are now the proud owners of brand new cell phones. And Dad is quite a bit lighter in the pocket book. While she was out to eat last night, the speaker on her phone stopped working. So we could hear her but she couldn’t her us. Everything else worked fine but a phone [...]

Had A Bad Day

Thursday, September 14th, 2006 @ 8:55 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I don’t usually complain, well I do, but generally not in posts. But today was different. I won’t go into all of the details but I ended up having to write a LARGE check because of someone else’s mistake. I should get the money back; unfortunately that won’t be until sometime next [...]
