I was showing Rich a video from Mishka the Talking Husky some time ago. He was convinced that Sascha could learn to do this trick. So over the last few weeks, Rich has been working with Sascha to do a trick called Twist. She gets a bit of cheese when she does it well enough. [...]

Flood waters are receding
This has been an interesting week. After almost 6 inches of rain over the short course of three or so days, we were flooded here. This turned out to be the highest rate that the Fox River has ever seen on record. The river finally crested at 7.48 feet. That meant that the channels around [...]

March in like a Lion
Winter again?!? Tuesday, it snowed again. I planned ahead this time though. I ended work at home on Monday, so I had to go into the office on Tuesday. My plan was to stay at the office until the snow started and then go home. I had a meeting at 10:30 and no snow yet. [...]

Latest holiday season
So instead of writing my blog on Sunday, I went down to The Roundhouse for appetizers and beers. We decided to take a road trip to Aurora with a friend. We had wanted to go down and check out the surroundings for Two Brothers. We’ve had some of their beers and now it was time [...]

Week of September 10
Monday started out extremely busy. My list of things to do was growing very rapidly. Work had a lot going on. Now that we are down one person, I’m twice as busy. We’ve figured out the logistics and we are looking for a new contractor. I hope we can find someone who is willing to [...]

Aww! End of summer already?
I always hate to see Labor Day come. It’s the end of summer and it starts the beginning of fall and cooler weather. If you didn’t know it, I love, love, love the hot weather. Growing up in Southern Indiana, it was usually warm and humid. So I’m used to that type of weather. I [...]

Cincy Blues Fest 2012 Day 3: Up Close AND Personal
I slept in this morning again. I got up about 8:30 and started preparing for the day. Rich continued to sleep on though. Finally, he opened his eyes and started moving around. Time for a shower and then off to breakfast. That’s two days in a row that we’ve eaten breakfast late. We headed down [...]
