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 […]

Ah, the sounds of winter
So it is officially winter here. We have the gentle buzz of snowmobiles out on the river. The last week has been very cold and the river finally froze over solid enough for the steady stream of machines to be buzzing up and down that temporary highway.We went out to dinner this evening and then […]

End of September already?
Last week, someone said that they would see me at Christmas. I was thinking it was still a ways away. Not! How could it be the end of September already? I just went on vacation (back in May) and we just had the pig roast (back in June). I know, I know. Only an old […]

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 […]

Cincy Blues Fest 2012 Day 2: Up Close
Those days when you can sleep are so nice. For me, that meant sleeping in to 7:00. Sascha wasn’t there with a wet nose and the alarm wasn’t trying to tell me something. Now if the housekeeper doesn’t try to roust me out before I’m good and ready, it will be glorious. I think the […]

Cincy Blues Fest 2012 Day 1 Welcome to O-HI-O!
The drive out of Chicago is always a nightmare. Traffic moves, but you just see one of every kind of possible disaster waiting to happen. And it takes so long! I think it was 2 hours to finally get out into the countryside and away from the cars and trucks.Then you have to follow I-65 […]

Recap of this week (June 17, 2012)
It was another hot one today. The last few days have been really adding up the heat. I think it’s Thursday evening now before they say it will be better. I like summer and the heat, but I’m really getting worried about what July will bring if it’s in the 90s now. I did voluntarily […]
