Two For Tuesday – 192

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 @ 11:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

We were originally going to post a movie we made; but it came out much to dark. So here are a couple of pictures of us “warming up”. We’ll keep the camera nearby on Wednesday and try and take something different for Thursday.

BTW: We are having a wonderful vacation!

No Surprises This Year

Monday, June 29th, 2009 @ 1:05 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

We ended up giving The Boy his birthday presents early this year. We had ordered a 22-inch LCD monitor and a set of powered speakers for his laptop. Unfortunately, the shipment was delivered while California Girl and I were in the pool and the monitor was not packed inside another box. There wasn’t any point [...]

A Couple Of Things

We’re currently running a beta version of WordPress so please let us know if you see anything unusual. I reported several bugs which are supposed to be fixed in the upcoming release so I thought it would be a good idea to test it.
Also, I was troubleshooting an ill behaved plugin earlier today so you [...]

HNT – 199

Thursday, June 25th, 2009 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

We’ve mentioned from time to time that we still have sex when California Girl is on her period. We just throw a couple of towels down on the bed and do what we normally do. I still had the camera handy when we got out of the shower after being in the swimming pool and [...]

High Summer

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 @ 12:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

Days like today don’t come around too often. The days are long. The kids are out of school. The weather is warm hot and sunny. And we have nothing to do in the evening except get in the pool and enjoy the burning sun. The only thing better would be if we were on vacation. [...]

Two For Tuesday – 191

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 @ 11:30 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

With the hot weather we have been having recently, California Girl and I have been getting in the swimming pool every day. By the time I get home from work the temperature has been near 90°F. So, we put on our swimsuits and hang out in the pool until the sun gets low in the [...]

A Small Victory

Monday, June 22nd, 2009 @ 10:10 pm | Him | By: Midwestern City Boy

It kinda got lost in the rush of Father’s day weekend; but I reached my target weight even with a big Father’s day diner. I’m going to continue dieting until at least Friday; but anything I lose from this point is a bonus. It’s a small victory since I didn’t have that much to lose [...]

Happy Father’s Day

Sunday, June 21st, 2009 @ 11:50 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

I know that this is a day late but I still want to wish a happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there. This year, The Girl made me a really cool card with coupons for various things. Can you guess which one is the most valuable?

Hot Weather

Friday, June 19th, 2009 @ 11:30 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

Today was the hottest day of the year. The temperature got above 90°F for the first time. Too hot to do much of anything outside unless you have a swimming pool in which case the weather is almost perfect. Nothing is better than getting in the pool on a Friday afternoon after a long week. [...]

Another Bonding Experience

Thursday, June 18th, 2009 @ 8:00 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

It’s taken eight hours spread over two days; but I finally got the original version of Myst running on The Boy’s laptop. We stayed up very late Wednesday night Thursday morning then got right back at it when I got home for work this afternoon. As an adult, he loves playing computer games from his [...]
