Spent Last week in hot, sunny Las Vegas at Cisco Networkers 2006. Instead of the usual 5 day training class in whatever, we thought this would be an excellent way to bone up on skills. And all in all that turned out to be true. There was an opportunity for 3 […]

There was a line at the post office this afternoon and everyone had a complaint. Since its a small town post office, its a one woman operation. I thought by the time she got to me, her patience with customer complaints would be up.
The carrier on Saturday was a sub. I already knew this because […]

We arrived home today from the Y at 11:30 a.m. Chief hopped out of the car to see if the mail was here yet. I’m waiting on Princess’ school materials for this fall. No mail.
We came inside and had lunch. About an hour later I walked out to the mailbox and found a redelivery notice. […]

Last 4th of July, Gary dug me three tiny raspberry plants and one black cap from beside his barn. Of the four he dug, three survived and are thriving. One is waist high while the others are about knee high. According to various web sites I read last summer, they hate clay soil. So much […]

About two years ago, a nicer restaurant opened in Blanchester. It was great because other than McDonalds, Subway and one lousy Chinese restaurant there isn’t much to chose from up there. The food was good but it quickly got a reputation around town for having slow service. Not a wise move in a small […]

On our way to the library last night, Princess pointed out some houses that she thought were pretty. I told her that next week, she and I are going to Homearama so we’ll see some really pretty but very expensive houses. She asked how people buy expensive houses. I told her they need lots of […]

While brushing Princess’ teeth tonight I discovered she’s got the beginnings of a loose tooth. She’s thrilled. At her last dental checkup, Dr. R told her he thought she would lose her first tooth around her birthday. Since that’s 8 weeks away and the tooth is still pretty tight, his guess is proabably about right.
She […]

KP and I showered at the Y today so we could run errands after working out.
The Y has family locker rooms as well as adult only locker rooms. The adult rooms are plainly marked on all doors, signs at the ceiling and several places inside. I like the peace and the bathrooms are cleaner. […]

Chief is officially part of the Junior High youth group. KP, Princess and myself attended a parents info meeting this past Wednesday night. They asked that each family sign up at least once during the year to provide breakfast for the kids during first service. We got July 16, December 3 and December 10. […]

Chief and 17 other kids (and sponsors) left after church today for their trip to Grundy Mt. Mission Home. Chief woke up today not feeling well with a headache. We debated about what to do but ultimately Chief decided he really wanted to go. We told him if he later changed his mind, we […]
