HNT – 169

Friday, November 28th, 2008 @ 9:30 pm | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

In an effort to reduce my love handles and tone my upper body, I recently started taking a boxing class every other day at lunchtime at a local gym. I’m just doing it for the exercise and I have no plans for anything beyond punching a bag and having a good whole body workout; but [...]

Two For Tuesday – 162

Friday, November 28th, 2008 @ 9:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl and I are on vacation. And, like all of our vacations, that means plenty of sex for us. California Girl is on her period but we never let that stop us. If anything it means more sex since the logistics of old towels to protect the bed are easier than the logistics of [...]

Enhanced For Widescreen Displays

For the second time this year, I changed the theme. In addition to different color and fonts, the post area is wider and the sidebar is now on the left-hand side. I cropped and resized the header photograph; but it’s still basically the same image. I wanted to make things a bit wider to make [...]

Just Like Old Times

It’s only for five days; but The Boy is home for Thanksgiving. I hadn’t realized how accustomed I had become to the computer generated growls of Doom monsters echoing down the stairs. It hasn’t been that long since he left, and we visited him in October; but it is really good to see him in [...]

Thanksgiving Vacation

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 @ 3:05 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, we will not be blogging much or posting any new photographs until Friday. The Boy is coming home from college and we are going to enjoy his visit. Every day for at least the past week, The Girl has been saying “I’m so excited. The Boy is coming home!” We’re [...]

Thank God for Backups

I have not been blogging much since I’ve spent the last few days recovering from a hard drive failure on one of the other computers in the house. It’s not a good thing when you can hear the heads hit the platters. Even though I was still able to read the data on the disk, [...]

Friday Potpourri #2

Friday, November 21st, 2008 @ 11:30 pm | Friday Potpourri | By: Midwestern City Boy

Guest_9858: Dude, you need to trim that monster of yours. There would be no BJ’s in my house with that hairy beast. Not a fan of picking pubic hair out of my mouth. Ugh. I do trim from time to time; but probably not as much as you would prefer. Thankfully, California Girl isn’t complaining. [...]

HNT – 168

Thursday, November 20th, 2008 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

I just got new eyeglasses which I’m still trying to get used to (see the previous post) so not a lot of words today.
Here’s our favorite picture from Tuesday’s photo session.

Here’s what we did to end up in such a comfortable position.

And here’s a picture of California Girl just because.

For some help getting used to [...]

The Ravages Of Time

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 @ 8:30 pm | Bitching, Him | By: Midwestern City Boy

I picked up my new eyeglasses today. Except for being the dreaded bifocals they look very stylish. I’m still getting used to them; but having glasses that are the correct prescription is really nice. Now, when I am in a strange place, I can see details that I couldn’t distinguish before. Unfortunately, I just can’t [...]

Two For Tuesday – 161

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 @ 11:45 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

One of my big pet peeves of the upcoming holiday season is the several family members that, despite having known me for most of my life, never get me anything is the right size. I’ve received some nice items that would have been perfect; except for the fact that they were two sizes too big. [...]
