The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
Despite being out of town for most of the day on Saturday, we were able to get in the pool on three consecutive days this past weekend for the first time all summer. It was wonderful. Especially since we’ve both been working so hard and haven’t had a lot of time to relax. It’s been [...]
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 [...]
We closed the pool for the winter today. It’s always a bit depressing looking outside and seeing the winter cover on it. It really does mark the end of summer. We didn’t get in it as much this year because of the unusually cool summer; but it was always soothing too look out and see [...]
Today was probably the last day of the year with temperatures above 80°F so we got in the pool for one final time when I got home from work. We had assumed that the Saturday of Labor Day weekend was our final swim of the year; so I was surprised and please when California Girl [...]
If you like the warm summer days like we do, today was a glorious day. We went for our customary Sunday run in the park; got in the pool for a while in the afternoon; and concluded the day with a sumptuous meal at my mother’s house. About the only thing “wrong” was that I [...]
After an unseasonably cold month of July, we are finally having some of great pool weather. If it doesn’t rain, we should be able to get into the pool every day next week. Sunday is forecast to be 91°F which is almost perfect. We just need to go for our run early in the morning [...]
Days like today don’t come around too often. The days are long. The kids are out of school. The weather is warm hot and sunny. And we have nothing to do in the evening except get in the pool and enjoy the burning sun. The only thing better would be if we were on vacation. [...]
With the hot weather we have been having recently, California Girl and I have been getting in the swimming pool every day. By the time I get home from work the temperature has been near 90°F. So, we put on our swimsuits and hang out in the pool until the sun gets low in the [...]
Today was the hottest day of the year. The temperature got above 90°F for the first time. Too hot to do much of anything outside unless you have a swimming pool in which case the weather is almost perfect. Nothing is better than getting in the pool on a Friday afternoon after a long week. [...]
California Girl was looking rather fine in her summer attire when I got home from work on Tuesday. That’s one of the things that I love about summer. Unfortunately, shortly after I got home I received a telephone call from a coworker about a problem at work and I had to return to the office. [...]
