Married In Ohio

A person I know passed away unexpected last week so I’ve been a bit droopy the past few days. It seemed somehow appropriate that the funeral service was held outdoors in a cold, wet rain. I’m reaching the point where I go to more funerals than weddings; but it is still somewhat unusual and unsettling [...]

Today could be the last game that Lebron James plays in Cleveland Cavaliers uniform so we thought that we would put on out the wine and gold for what could be the last time for the season, and perhaps, LBJ’s career in Cleveland. Go Cavs! For help rooting your favorite team to victory talk to [...]

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). Every week, The Girl seems to add items to the “Don’t tell your grandmother” list. California Girl and I expect the kids to follow our rules; but we don’t see the impending doom in everything that she does or plans to do [...]

Chickie asked in the comments to last week’s HNT post “Do you all ever have sex under the covers?” During the summer, the answer is basically no.

Having one more person in the house now that our son is home from college hasn’t affected our regularly scheduled Tuesday photo session. The master bedroom has been of limits for as long as they can remember, so the kids probably don’t think much about it when we vanish for a while in the early [...]

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). I went to the bank with The Girl to open a joint checking account in preparation for the fall. It would be hard to forget how soon she will be going off to college even if she wasn’t counting down the number [...]

California Girl had some stuff to do earlier in the day so she had just finished her workout when I got home from work. We take a lot of showers together in the mornings; but I’m often on my way out the door (to work or to one of the kids’ activities) before she’s finished [...]

For the fourth weekend in a row, I was on the road, this time to pick up The Boy from college. We’ve put a lot of miles on our vehicle recently and it’s not happy about it. We got stuck in heavy traffic on the way out and the engine started overheating. The coolant level [...]
