The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
What’s on CG’s Mind
California Girl and I both picked up or new eyeglasses today. They were very expensive which we expected; but they look very stylish which is good since we need to wear them all of the time. We are both still getting used to the new prescriptions; but my vision is much improved and her California [...]
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 [...]
January Did a lot of tinkering with the number of posts on the front page to speed up page load times. Finally I wrote a plugin that shows all posts published in the last seven days on the home page. Created and published our favorite HNT photo post of the year. February Got California Girl [...]
For the second time in three weeks, The Girl has gone on a school trip and we’ve been by ourselves in the evening for a few days during the week. We’ve been home alone many times on weekends; but it’s different not having the kids around on a work/school night. Most of the occasions when [...]
Earlier this week, Guest_1060 asked in the shoutbox if we could “do a his and hers post on how you keep your sex life active and happy”. Every relationship is different; but here is what works for us: The master bedroom is and has always been off limits to the kids (except once a week [...]
We don’t like the time change; but we really like the wristwatches we got last year for our wedding anniversary. They are much easier to adjust than the perpetual calendar models we replaced. It’s good that we got them last year since money tight because the bad economy and we probably won’t be making any [...]
California Girl recently had a birthday. We usually don’t say on what the specific day our birthdays occur; but careful observers will have noticed what day everyone’s birthday is from our updates to the “About Us” area of the sidebar. She was out when I got home from work, so I laid out all of [...]
January The Girl got her learner’s permit and The Boy earned a scholarship to college. It really started to sink in how different things are going to be in a few years months. February Celebrated the three year anniversary of Married In Ohio. The Boy wrestled in his final wrestling meet and perhaps the last [...]
I’m not sure what this evening may bring; but Tuesday was the twelfth consecutive day that California Girl and I had sex. We have sex very frequently; but 12 days in a row is unusual for us. Being on vacation the entire week of Thanksgiving helped; only three out of the twelve days were work [...]
The Girl had a rare weekend off from soccer so California Girl and I went to the homecoming of our alma matter this past weekend. We’ve been in town occasionally and driven through the area; but, except for an occasional event in a nearby building, it’s been over twenty years since we were on campus. [...]
