HNT – 308

Thursday, July 28th, 2011 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

It has been a while since we posted some photographs with both of us in the picture. So here are a couple of photographs of us trying to forget about the events of Monday night. For some help when you really need to forget about life for a while talk to your significant other. To [...]

Random Wednesday #44

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011 @ 11:55 pm | Random Wednesday | By: Midwestern City Boy

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl).  We saw Captain America last week and are already making plans to see Cowboys and Aliens this coming weekend and Planet of the Apes the week after that. We generally don’t go to the theater nearly this much; however, we enjoy watching [...]

Two For Tuesday – 300

Unlike last year when we did not get as much use from the pool as we would have liked, we have been getting in the pool almost every day during the recent heat wave. 90-degree temperatures are great fun when you’ve have a pool in your backyard. (We’ve had to water the grass since it’s [...]

Page Load Speed

Special thanks to Jim for emailing us and letting us know that our blog was loading very slowly. Everything appears to be OK after we rebooted a router. Please let us know if page loads are still slower than normal. Instead of the customary photo of California Girl that accompanies these “technical difficulties” posts, here [...]

HNT – 307

The groin protector for boxing that I ordered arrived this week; but I haven’t yet had the opportunity to spar with it on. So we decided that it would be fun to find another use for it. Boxers never get in the ring like this; but fights would be quite interesting if they did. For [...]

Two For Tuesday – 299

I have been very busy doing the homeowner thing (fixing the refrigerator), so we have not had much time this week for a photo session. So here is a picture from last week of California Girl getting dressed. I may be biased but I thought that it was a good candid photograph. BTW: I was [...]

Ice Water

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011 @ 11:45 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

The calendar says it’s Tuesday but today really seemed like a Monday. Our refrigerator picked today when its 100-degrees outside to drop dead. Of course, both the refrigerator and freezer compartments were too warm to stop food from spoiling by the time that I got home and could (potentially) identify the problem. So, we’ve got [...]

HNT – 306

Thursday, July 14th, 2011 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

One of the problems with going bottomless in the pool during all of the burning sun is the chance of sunburn. California Girl was mostly unscathed; but, she did get a small area on her left side. It’s not painful; but, as you can see from the photograph, it is noticeable. She isn’t complaining; but [...]

Random Wednesday #43

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011 @ 9:05 pm | Random Wednesday | By: Midwestern City Boy

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). I somehow cut my head while shaving again. I’ve used a HeadBlade for years without any problem and now I’ve have two HUGE nicks from the last few times that I’ve used it. I wonder if they have changed their blades or [...]

Our Independence Day vacation was great! Except for one day when it rained (and we went to the movies) we had fabulous pool weather. Lots of sun with temperatures in the high 80s and low 90s. Since it was so hot and everyone else was inside in the air conditioning, we decided to take some [...]
