The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
As you know, today is the last day for Half Nekkid Thursday. Today is our 330th and final post. California Girl and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating as posters and as followers. We want to give our heartfelt thanks to Osbasso for organizing and running it for almost seven years. That is a monumental achievement. [...]
The only thing worse than orange construction barrels on the highway are orange construction barrels blocking a perfectly usable lane. Everything was good for a few days; then the barrels mysteriously re-appeared; even though no one was doing any work. Finally, I saw a two-man crew painting the concrete divider. Apparently, they need to keep [...]
I got some new boxing gloves last week. My second new pair in less than a year. Boxing gloves are like running shoes. They still look good on the outside even when they are all worn out on the inside. And new ones have to be broken in just like shoes, especially if they are [...]
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 [...]
California Girl and I both picked up or new eyeglasses today. They were very expensive which we expected; but they look very stylish which is good since we need to wear them all of the time. We are both still getting used to the new prescriptions; but my vision is much improved and her California [...]
I haven’t been reading things as well as I usually do so, last week, I went to the ophthalmologist to get a new prescription. It was my first time visiting this particular doctor and I hate going to new medical professionals; but the guy I went to before him was always in a rush and [...]
I was going through my toiletries kit recently and discovered that I had a hairbrush in one of the compartments! It must have been in there undisturbed for a long time. I’ve shaved my head for years; and, before that, cut it very short with electric hair clippers. I must have neglected to take it [...]
I missed out on some loving on Thursday morning. That’s not something that happens very often; but California Girl had a morning appointment with her ob/gyn; so we were limited in what we could do. It has seldom been a problem for us; but one of the drawbacks of using a diaphragm is that it [...]
In these days of never ending bad news, I thought that it would be god to reflect on a few of the good things that have happened recently. In no particular order here are some recent good happenings. The Boy got very good grades for the second consecutive semester. He excelled in his freshman year [...]
I started on a diet this weekend and its killing me. It’s hard to OD on basketball (the first round of NBA playoffs) when you can’t have any munchies. I don’t usually diet; I prefer to increase the duration and intensity my workouts instead. But I noticed that I was snacking a lot. So, I’ve [...]
