The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
California Girl and I are winding down after a great Memorial Day Weekend. It rained on Saturday; but Sunday and Monday were warm and sunny. We had planned on going to the movies, but decided to get outside and enjoy the weather instead since there have been so few good days this spring. We got [...]
It’s late; but I wanted to wish all of the mothers out there a happy Mother’s Day. The Boy is home and The Girl sent a card (which we received on Saturday) so California Girl heard from both kids. I’ve been working on a special project for California Girl that I think she appreciates; so [...]
Its only Tuesday, the second day of my vacation, and I’ve already received several “urgent” emails and text messages from work. I am amazed at the impudence of some people. Except for a few days at Thanksgiving, our kids haven’t been home in four months. I wonder how they would be if their kids were [...]
Last Saturday, I posted about having a productive day and how that’s both good and bad. The past few days have been more of the same. We ate much too much at my mom’s house on Thursday. That’s good and bad for obvious reasons. Even though Saturday is typically our off day, we’re going to [...]
We’re not home alone, which, after three months of being empty nesters, is a welcome change. As always, I’ve got some work to finish up; so I’ll be starting Thanksgiving Break a day later than everyone else; but I plan to start the 4½ 4¾ day weekend as soon as I can. Times like this [...]
It’s getting late; but I wanted to wish all of the moms out there a happy Mother’s Day. I made sure that both my mom and California Girl know how much that are appreciated. The Girl did not have a soccer game today which is a rare occurrence for a Sunday in May so I [...]
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 [...]
As we mentioned in a previous post, California Girl and I made the 2009 edition of our Christmas Vacation Sex series. It is a long standing tradition of ours that we began in 2002 and have been doing every year since then. Some of this year’s photographs have a matrix-like effect since we did not [...]
What do you get for the man who has (almost) everything and doesn’t like anything that he doesn’t purchase or select himself? I knew what I was going to get California Girl months ago, and have had the kids’ “Santa” gifts identified since before Thanksgiving. I found gifts for everyone else in our extended family [...]
We had “fun” in all of the snow that is blanketing the northeast; but we have successfully retrieved The Boy from college. It’s always stressful to make a long drive in snowstorm; but we arrived home safely. After a long week of exams, he’s still sleeping. California Girl and I are about to go to [...]
