Getting Our Mojo Back

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 @ 9:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

We seem to be getting our mojo back.  It’s Tuesday evening and nothing we own has broken since last week.  Plus, The Boy is home for spring break.  It was a long drive to retrieve him and he’s only home for a week; but things always seem better when everything around the house is normal.  [...]

2,500,000 Visitors

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 @ 12:00 am | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

Married In Ohio went over 2,500,000 visitors sometime Tuesday evening! That’s a lot of visitors even for five years; especially since we don’t count robots, feed readers, or other tools which don’t support cookies. We look at it more as a measure of our longevity rather than as a measure of our popularity. We’re not [...]

White Death

Monday, February 8th, 2010 @ 11:25 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

The first few flakes of a big snowstorm are just starting to fall with a lot more to come over the new few days. It’s good that we dug out from the last snowstorm on Saturday. That should make it easier to shovel the snow from the upcoming storm.  The Girl is really hoping for [...]

How Did You Do?

Sunday, February 7th, 2010 @ 11:55 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I was the big winner in our office’s SuperBowl pool! Unlike some in the past, the game was very entertaining even for people who didn’t have money riding on it. Of course, it’s even better to watch a good game and win some cash. How did you do in your office pool?
One thing I noticed [...]

Dinner And A Movie

Sunday, January 17th, 2010 @ 5:42 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

After planning to do so for weeks, we finally saw Avatar on Saturday. Since everyone may not have seen it, I’m not going to say anything other than it was a great movie. We only go to the theater to see spectacle-type movies that would lose some of their impact in the living room on [...]

A Happy Holiday

Monday, December 28th, 2009 @ 5:05 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I don’t even know what day it is unless I think about it. It doesn’t really matter because California Girl and I are on vacation. It’s not much fun working for months without a day off; but it’s great having so much time to relax over the holidays. We had a wonderful [...]

Except for wrapping a few gifts which are still tucked away, we’re ready for Christmas. So, when the kids went out for the evening to catch up with old friends who were home from college, California Girl and I knew exactly what to do with the empty house. Make the 2009 installment of our Christmas [...]
