Day 2: Throw a Roll at Me!
Darn, I got up too early this morning. I meant to sleep in, but it just didn’t happen. I got up about 7:00. This was all without the benefit of a wet nose and a warm paw. Where was Sascha? Oh yeah, at home waking up Rick. We got moving and loaded up the car. […]

Day 1: New Adventure Begins
On our way The next adventure starts now. We decided to pack the car and leave from work. That would save us 40 minutes and we are already at the highway. I had a 2:00 to 3:00 meeting and then we figured we would just slip out the door. Luckily, my PM was nice enough […]

KC: Headed Home
Monday morning was our driving day again. We had to reverse the trip from Blue Springs, MO to Holiday Hills IL. This was 8 hours and 10 minutes of driving time. Then you have to factor in stops for breaks and breakfast as well as lunch, maybe dinner. It would be 9 to 10 hours […]

KC: Not enough TuF
It was a slow and rainy Sunday. We got up late and headed out to breakfast. Rich was planning on eating chicken at Stroud’s so breakfast was supposed to be light. We tried to find Daylight Donuts, but apparently they had closed up shop for good. We settled for breakfast sandwiches at Hardee’s. From there, […]

Day at the Races
Today, I played hooky from work. Well, kind of. I arranged to quit work a little early so I could go to the racetrack with my friends. It’s been a long and stressful few weeks. Karen, my shadow, had suggested that we schedule a day to go and watch the ponies. We did just that […]

Sweet Home Chicago: Day 3
Saturday was our last planned day at Blues Fest. Our plans were set. This would be my second day of waking without the help of a wet nose. Sascha normally starts wanting out between 6:00 and 6:30. That means prodding mom to get moving. We got up early and headed down the street to Yolk […]

Friday is Day 2 of our adventures in the city. We were not in any hurry this morning. Rich wanted to do breakfast burritos at a place we saw last night. So we trekked back up to Adams. It turns out that the Taco Al Fresco was run by an Eastern European couple. They didn’t […]

Sweet Home Chicago: Day 1
Ah, vacation. It’s a short one, but hopefully we’ll have some fun and adventure. To get things started, we headed out to breakfast at The Canteen in Barrington. I keep seeing the place when we drive by and hear about the great breakfast they serve. Of course, it doesn’t hurt when they appear to have […]

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 […]

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 […]
