Two For Tuesday – 271

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 @ 9:00 pm | Photos, TFT, Video | By: Midwestern City Boy

It’s become something of a tradition (except when we forget) to post a Flash movie of all the pictures we used for the previous year’s Two For Tuesdays in our first Two For Tuesday post of the new year. We originally posted a Digital Photo Frame with all of the photographs from the year’s TFT [...]

Two For Tuesday – 219

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 @ 1:35 pm | Photos, TFT, Video | By: Midwestern City Boy

If you have been following us for awhile, you may remember that we posted a Digital Photo Frame with all of the photographs from the year’s TFT posts in December of 2007. We didn’t get around to it for 2008 until last July. We probably should have done this last week for the last Two [...]

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 [...]

Two For Tuesday – 193

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 @ 8:00 am | Photos, TFT, Video | By: Midwestern City Boy

Longtime readers may recall that we posted a Digital Photo Frame with all of the photographs from the year’s TFT posts in December of 2007. We had intended to do the same thing at the end of 2008 but were so busy enjoying The Boy being home from college and the rest of our Christmas [...]

A New Resolve

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008 @ 11:55 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

The Girl and I were involved in a philosophical discussion until the early hours of the morningon Tuesday/Wednesady. It was a “good” conversation, especially considering the last few posts where I lamented that she wasn’t learning the lessons of life. She seems to have a better outlook and a better understanding of things. And, she [...]

We Go By My Mickey Mouse

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 @ 9:36 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

The Girl stayed out too late and got herself grounded. That was hard to do since I was flexible in what time I expected her to be home. Unfortunately for her, she didn’t return when she said she would. Doing things that she says she’s going to do when she says that she’s going to [...]

A Lesson Learned

Monday, July 28th, 2008 @ 11:30 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

After a week of unsuccessfully lobbying us to pay for a bigger share, The Girl finally got a new mobile phone. She had been holding out for a model which was much more expensive; but we declined to increase our contribution. I think it was a good financial lesson for her. Her choices were to [...]

It Shouldn’t Be Like This

Sunday, February 10th, 2008 @ 8:50 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

His final high school wrestling season has been a tough one for The Boy. He’s done some things to help the team out which have resulted in him not having as good of a record as he would like. He’s always been a “team player”; but now that the season isn’t going well, he’s starting [...]
