HNT – 189

Thursday, April 16th, 2009 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

All of the rain that we have been having recently is good for the grass but bad for HNT. Warm and dry isn’t in the forecast for the foreseeable future. We are both getting really, really tired of winter. Until we have that elusive warm spring day, we’re still experimenting with different camera angles. We [...]

Tax Day

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 @ 10:00 am | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I mailed our income taxes on the way in to work today. It was not unexpected but April is going to be a very lean month. Since today is such a depressing day for us, here are a couple of fun shots of California Girl. Enjoy. We hope you had to pay less than we [...]

Two For Tuesday – 181

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 @ 9:30 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

I had a rough day at work today so I was very happy to see that California Girl was dressed in one of my favorite outfits when I walked in the door. It’s very easy to forget about a bad day when your wife is wearing a see though blouse with a short skirt and [...]

Are We Showing Our Age?

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 @ 9:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

When California Girl and I were out on Saturday, we saw a guy with a tattoo on the small of his back in the area were women usually have them. It wasn’t part of a larger piece and, although we couldn’t tell for sure, he didn’t appear to have any other ink. I know that [...]

Happy Easter

Sunday, April 12th, 2009 @ 12:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I know that not everyone who reads this blog is Christian; but I still wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter. We’ll be sending the taxman many thousands to on Wednesday; but life isn’t too bad if that’s the worst of our problems. Today is a good day to pause and reflect on the coming [...]

What Works For Us

Saturday, April 11th, 2009 @ 8:35 pm | Her, Him | By: Midwestern City Boy

Earlier this week, Guest_1060 asked in the shoutbox if we could “do a his and hers post on how you keep your sex life active and happy”. Every relationship is different; but here is what works for us: The master bedroom is and has always been off limits to the kids (except once a week [...]

HNT – 188

Thursday, April 9th, 2009 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

We won’t have any more snow until next winter other than a possible light dusting for the next few weeks; but it’s still been MUCH too cold and wet for outside photographs. In the interim, we’re experimenting with different camera angles. We positioned the camera higher up and closer to the bed than we usually [...]

A Close Call

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 @ 8:00 am | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I thought I lost my new wristwatch on Monday. That would have been a very bad thing since I couldn’t afford to replace it with the economy being so bad these days. Fortunately, it was still in the locker I used to keep my stuff in while I was working out. I went running toward [...]

Two For Tuesday – 180

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 @ 11:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Yesterday was Opening Day for Major League Baseball so we thought that today would be a good day to pay a tribute to the “Boys of Summer”. We’re actually wearing softball gear rather than baseball gear; but we think that it is close enough. We would have preferred to take these photos outside; but it’s [...]

Does It Look OK?

Sunday, April 5th, 2009 @ 12:30 pm | General, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

With the recent release of Internet Explorer 8, I updated the server to force IE8 standards mode. Presumably, it should render pages almost the same as Firefox. Please let us know if something seems not quite right. We’ve upgraded our browser too; but we might not spot everything right away. BTW: I don’t want to [...]
