Married In Ohio

Amazingly, it looks like I’ve managed to crawl out from underneath the bus and get back on my feet at work. The long term damage to my career is still unknown; but, for the short term, it appears that I have survived; due in no small part to a BIG assist from the rest of [...]

The 2010 World Cup starts in less than 24-hours so we thought we would show our spirit for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team. The World Cup only happens once every four years and has been a big event in our household since 1986. We won’t be forgoing sex like some people to watch the [...]

For the first time since we got them for our 20th anniversary two years ago, California Girl is without her half of our matching wristwatches. The battery in California Girl’s watch died last week and, since it’s supposed to be water resistant to 100m, the jeweler had to send it back to the factory service [...]
