Friday, March 26th, 2010In years past Abi and I have traveled over a decent amount of the United States for our vacations, with extended visits to destinations in California, Florida, Hawaii, New York, North/South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The majority of these vacations included activities such as lounging at the beach, lounging at the pool, and lounging at [...]
Today. Was. Awesome!
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009Today was awesome. While riding on Kings Island’s The Outer Limits: Flight of Fear this afternoon, we got stuck. Yes, I’m sure most people would get a little freaked out by something like that, but then again, I’m not most people. This was 12 whole minutes that I won’t soon forget.
Flight of Fear (or [...]
Of Cameras, Peppers, and Tomatoes
Friday, August 14th, 2009So last post I spent 1200 words being angry at Nikon and the lack of communication between Nikon and me and Nikon and other departments within Nikon. Today I present you with this photo:
There was a box shipped via UPS next day air on my porch Thursday evening. It would appear that Vinnie somehow pulled [...]
Dear Nikon, Where is My Camera?
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009I recently purchased a shiny, new Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera. This was a brand new model, released in April 2009. I had been tossing around the idea of buying a new digital camera for quite some time, so when the D5000 was released I jumped on it immediately, buying it from Amazon the day [...]
Signs of Life
Saturday, July 11th, 2009While we still have quite a bit of ground to make up before we break even on the garden, we have seen some noticeable improvement with some of the veggies, including mini peppers that we hope will grow into normal and/or huge peppers. Check out some pictures here:

Look Back, but Don’t Forget About Moving Forward
Thursday, February 26th, 2009Tonight the University of Cincinnati Bearcats will be taking on the Mountaineers of West Virginia in a college basketball game that will no doubt receive a little extra attention on ESPN. You see, West Virginia’s coach Bob Huggins was once the head coach of UC. Surprised? I didn’t think so. It’s clear that as a [...]

Thanks to CD, Evan, and Abi for help splitting/stacking wood.

Shameless Bragging
Monday, October 13th, 2008Almost two months ago I mentioned how our friend Anna Tunnicliffe had won a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games. This past Friday, Perrysburg High School recognized Anna and her achievements at Perrysburg’s Homecoming football game. Abi and I went home for the weekend so we could partake in all of the festivities. Below [...]
No Power Means No Shower
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008This past Sunday Hurricane Ike pummeled Cincinnati and the surrounding areas with wind. We’re not talking about some lame breeze you get in the springtime with bunnies hopping around and flowers blooming; this was the kind of wind that didn’t think about sucker punching you in the gut, knocking you down, and then kicking you [...]
