The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
We were going to post this on Sunday; but it suits today, tomorrow and the day after that just as well as yesterday. One of the good things about the recent heat wave is that its GREAT weather to get in the pool. We don’t need to do anything except put on our swimsuits and [...]
Our Independence Day vacation was great! Except for one day when it rained (and we went to the movies) we had fabulous pool weather. Lots of sun with temperatures in the high 80s and low 90s. Since it was so hot and everyone else was inside in the air conditioning, we decided to take some [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
