Brutus Libre

Brutus Libre

We visited Chile Verde on Saturday for lunch. We love the food and Katherine is drawn to the artwork of the Lucha Libre or Mexican Wrestlers.  There were some new paintings there where both Brutus and coach Tressel were depicted as Lucha Libre. The photo is kind of blurry, but what can [...]

Fall Fest At Fancyburg

We went to the Fall Fest at Fancyburg Park in Upper Arlington today.  I never knew they had such an event until yesterday, so we decided to go as they weather was nice.  I didn’t know what to expect, but it was a very nice and well attended event. Katherine is still too young to [...]

Fall Outing

Katherine and Rebecca Hiking

Yesterday, we were invited to a family gathering at my Aunt and Uncle’s property in Logan County, OH.  They have a very nice property and cleared woods where we were able to enjoy a fire for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows to accompany they copious amounts of food brought in. [...]

No Over-Age Fishing

No Over-Age Fishing

In Ohio you are free to fish without a fishing license as long as you are under the age of 16. I wonder what happens when an officer approaches a father fishing with his young child without a license.  Does he throw the pole down on the ground toward his child [...]

Mystery Box

David, Michael and I

A few months back, I found this funny old photo while scanning family pics. In the photo left to right are David, Michael and myself. I don’t know what was in the box, though I am fairly confident it wasn’t diapers. Also, I have no idea why we appear [...]

Simple Living?

Amish Buggy

I recently attended my grandfather’s estate sale around Rushsylvania in Logan County Ohio.  While walking to Grandma’s house from where we parked, we noticed this Amish horse and buggy tied to a tree in Grandpa’s walnut tree woods.

So much about this picture evokes the notion of a simple life.   It [...]

Where Did July Go?

A whole month went by and not a single post. Of course, this isn’t the first time that has happened. What happened?

Here are a few highlights:

Fourth of July in Rushsylvania

Throughout my life, this has been virtually a yearly event.  Rushsylvania is not the most exciting town, but that’s where our family [...]

Time Machine Backup Lessons

Last week, I came home and noticed a really loud clicking noise coming from my MacBook. That’s never a good sound, particularly when you aren’t actively using it. The hard drive was toast.

While I wasn’t completely thrilled, I figured I would at least find out how well my backup strategy worked.  I use Time [...]

Great Father’s Day

I had a wonderful Father’s day thanks to Rebecca and Katherine.  Katherine stirred from her sleep this afternoon and allowed me to rock her to sleep. She hasn’t let me be the comforter in quite a while so this was nice. There isn’t anything that can compare to looking down at your child while they [...]

Car Travel Has Changed For Kids

Car Travel Has Changed

This is a scanned photo of my brother David (left) and myself (right) in either my parents’ or grandparents’ vehicles.  I don’t have the exact date, but I am going to guess it was around 1977.  Apart from the lack of car seats and what was probably just lap belts [...]
