Tasha and I spent this weekend doing chores and visiting friends, yesterday was an exceedingly fun night hanging out with a few of my coworkers and their families.  There were five ornery kids, aged 4-12 there… and nerf guns.  Eventually some of the adults were involved, and rough-housing ensued!  It was a lot of fun […]

Winter struck Colorado with a wintry few inches of snow (as opposed to a few summery inches of snow) and since the roads were less than ideal (at least, that’s what the Official Road Conditions website said) so we electively stayed in.  Several of my coworkers also skipped the holiday event that was taking place, […]

Tonight, after much prodding from Sensei Hartman, I made the time to get down to the Denver dojo and train.  I didn’t know if I was going to get lucky enough to meet Sensei Yaguchi this time around, but I was excited to get to train.  I got there around 6:15, which was plenty of […]

Missed out on my blog post to start out December because we spent most of the evening getting new cell phones!  Tasha and I both ended up with new Samsung Aliases.  We talked the guy down to getting the phones for $50 apiece (after mail-in rebate) and our numbers and plan stays the same.  These […]

We made it back to Colorado safely!  Woot!!  There was only a little ice and snow in Nebraska this morning, but the wind was AMAZING.  The only reason Chicago is called The Windy City is because it was founded before they found Nebraska.

Too much turkey.  Wow.  Today we went out shopping for a little bit, I got a few presents picked up but once again refused to be taken in by the 5 AM door busters and other nonsense and will primarily do my shopping online this year. We’re getting ready for Thanksgiving II, followed by some […]

I did get to sleep in just a bit this morning, before being woken up by a combination of dogs and noise from the front living room.  Tasha and I met with the ol’ bloggin’ gang at One World, taking the opportunity to surprise Scarab and Debra!  It was really fun and good to have […]

I’m at the rest stop in Iowa, where the only good thing to see is the free public wifi.  It seems my car is revolting against me in some unknown fashion once again, as my Service Engine Soon light came on about 1/4 tank into this trip.  It can’t be anything too serious, or else […]

Last night, Tasha and I went to the Butterfly Pavillion near our house for an evening of classical music, wine, and to see their new exhibit.  I have to say, it was a lot cooler than I expected.  I want to go back there sometime during the day when I can see the butterflies in […]
