Saschis
Don’t crumple the plastic bag while in the workshop. You will get mowed down by one fast moving dog. (I almost died today.) Turning on the air conditioning is now gauged by hot the Husky is.

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, […]

Travelogue 06.15.13
Today was our long weekend to Kansas City. We slept in to start. I know, 6:30 isn’t sleeping in, but I went back to bed after pulling Sascha back into the house. She was giving me that middle claw thing, but I wasn’t going to worry about whatever she was barking about. In she came, […]

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 […]

Saschi Sayings

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 […]

Sweet Home Chicago: Day 2
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 […]

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 […]
