Monday Madness

Monday, January 31st, 2011 @ 9:18 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I’m not sure how this week is going to turn out. I got stuck in the elevator before I even got to the office. (It stopped when it almost reached my floor; but the sensor thought it was between floors so the door wouldn’t open.) It’s a good thing that I am not claustrophobic. We’ve [...]

Sunday Shorts

Sunday, January 30th, 2011 @ 11:55 pm | General, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

The rabbit that lives in our back yard never walks hops across the winter cover to the swimming pool even though it is covered with snow. California Girl and I wonder whether it’s coincidence or instinct; especially since he managed survive summer the without drowning. Facebook finally added FB chat to their Android app in [...]

HNT – 282

Thursday, January 27th, 2011 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

Everything was working this week so we decided to make a fun post with our computer in the background. In reality, the computer would get zero percent of our attention (and we both would have taken off our glasses). Technology isn’t nearly on the same level as sex for us but it did make an interesting [...]

Two For Tuesday – 274

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011 @ 7:45 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Unlike the either of past two weeks when we had interruptions to both our cable/internet service and the electricity, this week has been a “normal” week for essential utilities. (It’s amazing how rapidly we have come to think of internet access in the same category as electric power.) Anyway, since we had both of them [...]

Just Not Feeling It Today

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011 @ 11:47 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I went to a wake (also known as a viewing or calling) today. Like all such things, it was very sad so I don’t feel much like publishing a Two For Tuesday post today. As I always say, tomorrow is another day; the world seems a better place after a good night’s sleep. So look [...]

HNT – 281

Thursday, January 20th, 2011 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

We’ve been fighting a lot with technology recently, so we weren’t surprised when the lights went out on Tuesday. California Girl remembered that we keep a candle in the pantry just for such an occasion so we didn’t have to wait in the dark. It gave us plenty of light for sex, our favorite low [...]

Two For Tuesday – 273

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011 @ 8:15 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Believe it or not; but, after the internet problems we had last week, the power went out on Tuesday shortly after I got home from work. Of course, since no one would put up with an electric utility with service as bad as our local cable operator, power was restored before it got to late [...]

Empty Nesters Once Again

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 @ 11:50 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

After a four week Christmas break, The Girl has gone back to school which means that California Girl and I are empty nesters once again. The house is much, much quieter than it was a few days ago. We had partially adjusted to the change last fall; but, after a month like old times, we [...]

HNT – 280

Thursday, January 13th, 2011 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

After the Internet problems that we had on Monday and Tuesday, it is good to be able to use our computer to write a blog post instead of “typing” on a smartphone. We love our droids; but haven’t mastered thumb typing. We were back online by Tuesday evening; but still planned to have our weekly [...]

Two For Tuesday – 272

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011 @ 8:25 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Today (Wednesday) was a much better day. Nothing else broke. And, California Girl didn’t have any distractions so she was able to start catching up on her work. We don’t expect for things to go well all of the time; but it would be nice if things didn’t go poorly so often. Anyway, here is [...]
