The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
We seem to be getting our mojo back. It’s Tuesday evening and nothing we own has broken since last week. Plus, The Boy is home for spring break. It was a long drive to retrieve him and he’s only home for a week; but things always seem better when everything around the house is normal. [...]
There is a saying that “Bad things come in three’s.” We’ve never accepted such things as true; but, believe it or not, we had a third unexpected major expense last week. We were hoping for a change of luck after the events discussed in our Raining In February and The Rain Continues posts. Unfortunately, we [...]
I drove over a big nail sometime on Monday so I had a flat tire today when I woke up this morning. That would not have been so bad except that the hole was too close to a patch from a previous repair so I ended up having to buy a new tire. And full [...]
California Girl and I are getting very tired of emergencies. Lately, it seems like the only luck we have is bad. On Friday, we had to go went deep into our “rainy day” fund. And, even when we’re not spending money unexpectedly, we’ve always got April 15th lurking in the back of our minds. We [...]
Sorry that we haven’t been around the blogosphere much lately; but, like all of you, we live in the real world too; and, sometimes, life gets in the way. It wasn’t one big thing; so much as it was an accumulation of a bunch of little things. First, when I was running on the treadmill, [...]

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.

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 noticed [...]
We’re still unsettled whenever The Girl has to drive somewhere; but it is nice to that there is someone else besides ourselves to run errands. Today, for example, The Girl had to get gas for the car she drives, so, while she was out, California Girl had her go to the grocery store and pick [...]
I hate doing the homeowner thing when it comes up unexpectedly in the winter. It was already late when I got home since I was delayed leavening work and then had errands on my way home. Of course, the closet door broke as soon as I opened it to put away my business causal clothes [...]
