The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
We got home late last night/early this morning back from taking The Boy back to college. He was excited to begin his sophomore year and we plan to visit him before too long; so it really didn’t sink in that he was gone for another school year until we got home to a much emptier [...]
We ended up giving The Boy his birthday presents early this year. We had ordered a 22-inch LCD monitor and a set of powered speakers for his laptop. Unfortunately, the shipment was delivered while California Girl and I were in the pool and the monitor was not packed inside another box. There wasn’t any point [...]
The Boy has gone back to college. It’s hard to believe but his freshman year is almost over. He’s got midterms starting next week and finals in just over a month. It’s crazy. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were moving him into the dorms. Soon, we will be moving him back home [...]

California Girl and I went to visit The Boy over the long weekend. He’s only been gone for a couple of weeks; but it was still good to see him. He seems to be adjusting well to life on his own. He seemed a lot older and a lot more confident than he was when [...]

I ordered The Boy a laptop for another company this morning and though that everything was good. Then, when I checked my email after watching the Bengals beat the Packers, I had an email from Dell notifying me that they had shipped my computer and it should be here on Wednesday. So, now I have [...]
Your order is further delayed and we need your permission to… This was the email that greated me when I check my email when I got home on Friday. When your son is leaving for college in less than two weeks discovering that the vendor still can’t ship his laptop after waiting for a month [...]
