The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
The Girl had her last club soccer game this weekend. She won’t “officially” be an adult for another month or so; but I feel a lot older than I did last week. In just a few days, she’s graduated high school, got her college identification card, registered for classes this coming fall and found someone [...]
We got a new digital camera this past weekend and, like most people, one of the first things we did is take nekkid photographs of ourselves. It’s about the same size as our old one; but takes much higher resolution photographs since it is 2 years newer. And you can judge for yourself; but we think [...]
Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). We’ve been so busy with graduation activities, etc. for The Girl that we haven’t been blogging much recently. Things are starting to slow down, so we should be catching up with everyone soon. The Girl is already registered for class and has [...]
We went out to eat to celebrate our wedding anniversary this past Saturday night. We exchanged cards on the actual day; but waited until the weekend to go out. Around here, 9:30PM reservations like we prefer aren’t possible/practical except on a weekend. That gives us plenty of time beforehand. Our days are busy and we [...]
The Girl is now a high school graduate! Wow, 4 years went by quickly. It almost seems like yesterday that we were taking her to soccer practice before her freshman year. The Girl has a summer birthday so she’s not yet 18; so, although it doesn’t seem that way to us, she’s basically “grown woman”. [...]
We were busy attending some of The Girl’s graduation events so we didn’t have the opportunity until yesterday to celebrate our 22nd anniversary. I’ve had the time of my life for the past 27 years. We’ve parented two wonderful children; but we still have a fabulous time even when it’s just the two of us. We ate [...]
Since, unlike previous weekends, we didn’t have to be on the road, California Girl and I went out on Friday. We had intended to go to an outdoor club that has live music on Fridays and Saturdays; but, because of the rain, we ended up going to a bar/pub that coincidentally also had a band. [...]
Osbasso requested that everyone repost their very first HNT in honor of the 5th anniversary of HNT. We’ve taken a lot of HNT photographs over the years; but, since we haven’t changed blogs like a lot of people have, finding it was easy. Our very first HNT was published on August 25th, 2005. We also [...]
California Girl recently suggested that I get rid of some of my old t-shirts that are too big for me to make more space in the closet. I’m not sure why I saved them for so long. I have no plans to return to the days when I needed a XL (or larger). It’s amazing [...]
The Girl recently started taking boxing classes like I do. She’s very athletic and in a great shape; but I still like to see if I can out do her. And, even though I claim I’m an “old man” she likes to see if she can outperform me as well. I’ve attended a lot more [...]
