The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
January Had an occasion to do the Snoopy Dance because of something that happened at work. Took a cool photograph of California Girl with the flowers she received at The Girl’s last senior night. We reviewed the proofs of The Girl’s senior photographs and made our selections. It was a bit discomforting how rapidly her [...]
That was my temperature on Thursday night. That’s definitely a fever for an adult, even more so when you consider that my “normal” temperature (at least on my home thermometer) is 97-degrees. I don’t believe in being sick which means that I try really hard to not let being under the weather disrupt my normal [...]
The Girl recently started taking boxing classes like I do. She’s very athletic and in a great shape; but I still like to see if I can out do her. And, even though I claim I’m an “old man” she likes to see if she can outperform me as well. I’ve attended a lot more [...]

The Girl was invited to join a new team for the upcoming club soccer season. They play at a higher level than the team she is currently on. I like the fact that she’ll be joining better team. But what I’m most pleased about was that she actively sought out new opportunities rather than being [...]
Sorry for not being around blogland much this past week. (See the post below.) Because this blog is also sort of an online diary, I’ve added a few posts that should have been published earlier in the week. I probably should have posted as things happened; but I didn’t like not being able to comment [...]
Earlier this week, Guest_1060 asked in the shoutbox if we could “do a his and hers post on how you keep your sex life active and happy”. Every relationship is different; but here is what works for us: The master bedroom is and has always been off limits to the kids (except once a week [...]
Several of the guys in my office are going to Las Vegas for a Mancation next month. It is something that they have done every winter for many years and always seemed to have had a good time; but I’ve never been able to get into. I’ve been invited; but a week without women (with [...]
