  • Rich’s comment about his home office

    On Tuesday, we both worked at home.  On days like this,  Rich works downstairs at the bar.  I mentioned that it couldn’t be that comfortable.  He tells me there is a motto for his home office: 12 Bar Blues Bar Free wifi Zurekbrau on tap Good bourbon selection on hand Blues playing on the jukebox […]

  • Trip to Southern Indiana

    I recently went home to Southern Indiana.  Rick had his plans fall through, so he joined me.  The drive down was good.  Even going through India No Polis on the day before the big race wasn’t too bad.  We arrived in the late afternoon.  I gave Rick his choice of things to go and do […]

  • Travelogue 05.27.13

    I thought about titling this Star Date.  Rick and I took a trip down to Southern Indiana recently.  On the way back home, we stopped in Lafayette, Indiana for gas.  It was raining and cold.  At the gas station, which doubled as the local hunting and fishing supplier, there was an interesting sight. This area […]

  • Ms. Sascha

    Sascha has become this cute “little” dog that roams around the house doing the most interesting things.  I’ve found that she has the same mind set as the rest of the engineering types that live in my house.  She learns one way to do things and she has a really hard time doing it any […]

  • Carp Slayer

    The previous weekend was beautiful.  Rich decided to put that fishing license to good use and go down to the river to try his hand at catching something.  Around here, the drum and other fish tend to run plentiful.  Rich has been learning to fish for carp.  These fish tend to stay toward the bottom […]

  • A Saschi

    It is a good idea to where shoes to the table when you are top dog in the house.  Sascha likes to reach out and keep contact while you eat and her paws are might rough.

  • Mother’s Day is for flowers

    Traditionally, Mother’s Day is the day I start my planting for the season.  I make it easy on the guys and just ask that they buy the flowers I plant on that day.  Here, I have flower boxes on the deck that I plant in every year. I didn’t realize until this year that Rick’s […]

  • Painting has completed

    Rick has finally completed painting the garage walls.  It took a little longer since the white part required a second coat.  This included the ceiling.  So the bottom half of the walls is now a nice shade of blue-gray. With a couple of finishing touches, Rich can now move into his new man cave. He […]

  • Sascha, Sasch, Sascharini, Saschi

    We all have our little nicknames for that furry kid in the house.  My personal favorite is Sascharini.  Rich goes between Sasch and Saschi.  Anyway you say it, it’s Sascha and she’s adorable. Rich has been thinking there are lessons to be learned from Sascha. When it is time to go to bed, just let […]

  • Tutu and all

    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. […]
