Done rafted
Thank you, waterproof disposable cameras It was hot—like over a hundred degrees hot. But the water was 59° so it balanced everything out. Two days of fun on the American River, framed by our rafting guides serving up breakfast, lunch and dinner. I survived without any broken bones but maybe a few bruises. You really…

Ditching work
Overhead shot On Friday, I borrowed an Echo (looking on Toyota’s site, it seems it is no longer made), got lost on the backroads on the way to the grocery store. Used the mobile phone to call back for clarification on the list—like 10 times. Got back to the ranch and gerbil spa to find…

CMH > MSP > SMF
Drowning out the noise It feels like forever since I’ve up and gone on a plane, but that’s the type of hyperbolizing perfect for blogging. I started off yesterday getting to the airport in Columbus, because that’s one of the places you go when you live in Cincinnati to save some money on airfare. Blah…

Camp Detox
with S’mores Even though it was super-dooper gross hot this weekend, I went camping.

Mushroom
You can see my lens fogging up it was so hot I won’t say camping was all hotness, because there was a pool. However the water was warm and a thin layer of sunscreen created an oily skin. Cool showers were the best remedy. Movie news tangent: A 3-D, CGI-animated Smurfs feature film will bow…

I got the Chicken Tenderloin Dinner like I always do (unless it’s breakfast.) I’m simple that way. By dinner’s end I got the check…

Harvest Jubilee
tumble for ya I drove up with a friend to Fort Recovery for their 100th annual Harvest Jubilee on Sunday. The highlight being the Fireman’s parade. Veterans, flags, firetrucks, shriners, clowns, classic cars, the high school band, lots of candy being thrown, tumblers, and tractors—LOTS of tractors, from the oldest to hulking 8 wheeled monsters.…

Promenade
Easter Sunday Met with Thor yesterday for breakfast at Tiffany’s — well, bagels outside Tiffany’s. Art arrived shortly thereafter and we walked through the dense crowd of the Easter promenade. Bonnets galore. There were lots of people that liked getting dressed up and getting their picture taken, and about 300 times more people who liked…
