Married In Ohio

I got some boxing shoes today. I’ve got boxing gloves and headgear and a groin guard; but, until today, I’ve never had any shoes specifically for the ring. I never had any problems wearing my running shoes; but I learned how much difference the right equipment can make a long time ago. My footwork will [...]

I mentioned on Wednesday that I tripped on a bag that someone left by the ropes in the ring when I was sparring and twisted my ankle. Plus I got punched in the head since I dropped my guard while I was trying to keep my balance and the guy I was fighting didn’t realize [...]

I mentioned yesterday that I got cracked in the ribs pretty hard when I was sparring on Saturday. Fortunately, California Girl gives me plenty of TLC when I’m “wounded”. I would rather not be sore; but she does a good job of making me feel better. In the first photograph she’s examine the swelling around [...]

Wednesday was one of those days. I woke up without any energy and stayed that way the entire day. I’m usually “OK” when I’m tired; but, not this time. My headgear for boxing fell out of my gear bag which, in addition to the nuisance of replacing it, is like losing $70. I looked everywhere [...]

After last week’s self-censored post, California Girl and I assumed that we would have a more typical Tuesday photo session this week. Unfortunately, our clothes dryer did not cooperate. We spent most all of the evening disassembling and reassembling it. It appears to be working normally again; but it was a long evening. It definitely [...]

To juxtapose the photograph that we posted yesterday in support of the protest against SOPA/PIPA and Internet Censorship, today we are posting some pictures which have definitely not been censored. In fact, cropping and resizing for the web was the only editing performed. And, the photos were specifically chosen because they left nothing to the [...]

Today is the first post of our new series, Empty Nest Thursday. We’re not empty nesters all the time since the kids are home at breaks and over the summer but we think the term is descriptive of the current phase of our lives. We mostly have the house to ourselves and can do whatever [...]

Today was a long day at the office, not because I had to work late; but because I had to work at all. After being on vacation for so long, the office seemed like a foreign country where I did not speak the language. The only thing that kept me going was knowing that it’s [...]

As you know, today is the last day for Half Nekkid Thursday. Today is our 330th and final post. California Girl and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating as posters and as followers. We want to give our heartfelt thanks to Osbasso for organizing and running it for almost seven years. That is a monumental achievement. [...]

As he always does the third week of December, Osbasso requested that this week’s HNT feature a Christmas tree. We know that we’ve done silhouettes before; but we like that style for a Christmas tree HNT post. Plus we wanted to see how our new camera does in low light. We’ve also include a photo [...]
