The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
By unfortunate coincidence, our pool opening was scheduled on the same day that the taxman cometh. It’s hard to look forward toward the lazy days of simmer when you are losing your shirt. As has been the case for many years we have to pay both state and federal taxes. There will be many lean [...]
We know that not all of our readers are Christian; but we still like to acknowledge major holidays like today. Easter is a time to feel refreshed after a long hard winter and look toward the spring and summer. We’ll be opening the pool on tax day; but we don’t plan to let that unlucky [...]
Osbasso requested that everyone publish a Winter Olympics themed post for this week’s HNT. We decided to use today’s post to pay our respects to Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, who suffered a fatal crash while training at Whistler the day before the 2010 Games officially opened. We did not and will not watch the video [...]
Happy St. Valentine’s Day to all the lovers out there. We hope that that you are having a wonderful day. And California Girl, you already know that I think you are very special; but I just wanted to tell you again any way. Happy Valentine’s Day.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Two quick things before I go to bed tonight. I hate the transition to and from daylight savings time. My body’s internal clock takes a long time to readjust and I don’t sleep well until it does. Be sure to vote tomorrow. We’ve got some important issues on the ballot here in Ohio as I’m [...]
We’re going to a Halloween party this coming Saturday and we still haven’t decided what to wear. Costumes are encouraged; but we wouldn’t go to a Halloween party without being in costume anyway. Ordinarily, we’d just select something cute at the costume store; but, like everyone else, money is tight so we’re not making unnecessary [...]
This isn’t a sports blog but I have to mention the Bengals’ great win today; especially since the wife of the defensive coordinator died unexpectedly on Thursday. I can’t imagine what it must be like to go home and find your wife dead. We’ll definitely be doing a photo tribute to them in the near [...]
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). We have added a pink ribbon in the sidebar to show our support. We encourage everyone to pinkify their blog or website for October. And please volunteer at nearby NBCAM events and help make breast cancer a thing of the past.
