Jake has picked up a new hobby as well, though his takes a much different form than mine – a large outlay of labor and supplies followed by lots of waiting. Not my kind of hobby, but then, he’s not going to be taking up knitting any time soon either.
Here’s a picture [...]

New Haircut
Posted in News, tagged hair, haircut on March 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The title says it all…well maybe not. I’m pretty excited about this one. My hair doesn’t always look good when cut short(er) but this one seems to work. I’ve even tried pulling my bangs back, and it looks kind of good that way too. I’m excited…and yes, I am aware that [...]

Posted in News, Pictures, tagged Athens, CNN, ice, ice storm, kentucky, News, Ohio, weather on February 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It’s over forty degrees here today, so the ice that came this past week will hopefully start melting. It sounds like Kentucky was hit very badly and there are still many people without power there, so we were lucky things didn’t get that bad, but we did have a rough couple days.
On Monday night [...]

Catching Up

I know, I know, I’ve been a bad blogger lately. I don’t even have the excuse of being busy, since I got a few days off around the holidays and didn’t even have to travel anywhere. My mom came to visit and we had lots of good food, watched A Christmas Story on TNT and [...]
Home Again

It was so good to see everyone when we were in Madison this past weekend. I miss you guys already. I wish I could move Ohio closer to Wisconsin. It would solve a lot of problems.
It was a great weekend, including a trip to the Great Dane on Thursday where I got to have my [...]
From Indianapolis

Writing from the Econolodge near the Indianapolis airport…
We made it here OK, but it was a longer trip than expected. Just outside of Columbus, after getting on I-70, we hit something on the road that managed to blow out not one, but two tires, both on the passenger side. Luckily, we were able to drive [...]

Thanksgiving is over. It was a good one. Jake and I went to Michigan to visit his mom’s family just outside of Detroit. They had a huge event on Thursday with more than forty people there for dinner. It was all sorts of delicious food and a lot of fun playing euchre and watching the [...]

It turns out that Athens and Ohio can be interesting from time to time.
Below are some pictures from a walk up on The Ridges, which is a collection of buildings on the top a hill in Athens. They all used to be part of the Athens Mental Health Center, which was previously known as the [...]
What’s Goin’ On
Posted in News on October 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I haven’t written much lately, for a variety of reasons. Mostly it’s just laziness. I don’t have a better excuse. I also feel like there’s so much going on in the political and economic world right now that I don’t even know where to begin.
September was a pretty crazy month at work. I taught a [...]
