T-Mobile Sucks

Friday, October 31st, 2008 @ 12:48 am | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I had some work to do (like always) when we were on the road last weekend and the wired internet connection in our room was not working, so I purchased a Wireless Hotspot day pass from T-Mobile. What a mistake that was. The connection worked for a few minutes before T-Mobile had network problems. By [...]

HNT – 165

Thursday, October 30th, 2008 @ 8:27 pm | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

We’re not doing a HNT Halloween special this year as we have done in years past. We were out of town last weekend when the “big” party was going on so we didn’t purchase new costumes this year. And we’ve already featured all of our old costumes. I thought that we had something new packed [...]

Two For Tuesday – 158

Hooray! We’re back in the saddle again. We have spinning, we have agitation! I was able to fix our washing machine! I have bad luck so I’m always happy when I’m able to make my own. You have one guess what I requested for my reward. P.S. We’ll be back later with our HNT Post.

When it Rains It Pours

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 @ 10:30 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

We’ve got several topics that we want to post about. Unfortunately,our washing machine is broken. We can’t afford a new one, so we’ll be spending the next several evenings disassembling and reassembling everything until we get it working again. Its old enough so that a lot of stuff is “broken”. The hard part is finding [...]

HNT – 164

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl and I have always liked photographs which don’t require any pixilation. They are easier to post because they don’t require much editing. And, more importantly, we think that pixilation and other blurring techniques detract from the composition of the photograph. So, it’s a double bonus, when we take a photograph that preserves our [...]

Two For Tuesday – 157

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 @ 1:15 am | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

It’s weird having two digital cameras. Each one seems to do some things better and some things worse than the other one. We’ve determined which one to use for most situations; but we still tend to switched back and forth in our Tuesday photo sessions. So, we decided to post approximately the same photograph and [...]

Hotel Sex

Monday, October 20th, 2008 @ 12:00 am | Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl and I attended homecoming at our college alma matter a couple of weeks ago and spent the night at a luxurious hotel. We gave a preview of some of the pictures for HNT – 162 and HNT – 163. The full set of 20 photographs is available here. We think that they are [...]

Thirty Questions

Sunday, October 19th, 2008 @ 10:47 pm | Quizzes | By: Midwestern City Boy

Since we haven’t been as interactive as usual, we decided to turn the shouts in the sidebar into a question and answer session. BTW, there are only 29 questions/responses; but “Twenty-Nine Questions” is a title for a post. Guest_2713: Glad to see you too are enjoying each other, do you ever get it from the [...]

HNT – 163

Thursday, October 16th, 2008 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl and I took some amazing photographs when we were on our homecoming getaway. For this week’s HNT, we are posting my favorite picture of all. I really like the way California Girl looks sitting on the couch by window holding a rose as the sun streams into the room. It’s one of my [...]

Another Year

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 @ 11:45 pm | Him | By: Midwestern City Boy

I usually slip it in surreptitiously; but observant visitors may have noticed that I added another year to my age in the “About Us” section of the sidebar. Since The Boy is away at school, we didn’t go out to dinner like we usually do. Instead, the three of us just had a quiet dinner [...]
