Waiting on another storm

I thought I had posted about the storm that we got last weekend, but apparently not.
Saturday was probably the worst type of weather I’ve seen while I’ve been in the midwest. Freezing rain was the name of the game. It didn’t keep the wife and I from going to a new [...]

Old clothes

We had planned to go skiing this weekend and a hill that’s up in Galena. I call it a hill because it’s defiantly not the mountain we used to ski on. In preparation we started digging up our snow pants. I knew that I had a pair around somewhere so I went [...]

There one day…gone the next

So last week I think the eastern half of the US got blasted with snow. Yesterday it all started to melt away. I’m happy either way. I enjoy the snow because it makes everything look good. Rather than the dull and dead landscape that you see without any snow. However if [...]

Adventures in Dancing

So on Valentines day we made our way over to the Arthur Murray Dance school. Is it just me or is every dance school on the second floor of a building? In some of the movies I’ve seen it’s on the second floor and this place was on the second floor.
My [...]

Dancing…dancing!

Last night I called up the local Arthur Murray Dance school to see about dance lessons for my wife and I. A bubbly girl answered the phone and asked what type of dance lessons we were looking for.
I replied “Clumsy husband lessons.” She got a good laugh out of it. [...]

Back at work

Today was the first day back at work in almost 2 weeks. It was depressing! Okay it wasn’t that bad. It took me until almost 11 to get my e-mails downloaded (for those keeping track it was 18,872 e-mails that I had to download). I had a meeting at 10 that [...]

Some photos from our trip

These aren’t that interesting. More interesting will be the fact that my wife will probably kill me for posting them up. Perhaps those photos will be more interesting!

This is a family portrait that we took while taking pictures at my parents house.

A photo from the photo of the wife and I. We had [...]

I conquered!

One of the things that we have needed to do to the house since we have moved in is replace the bathroom fan. So yesterday I was bored and I decided that I’d quickly replace it. Hah….quick was the wrong word. It seems like most of the projects I undertake that are [...]

Short Hiatus!

I had a short hiatus for some personal business. But I’m back and hopefully will get back to a somewhat normal posting pattern.
I still have photo’s to process from our trip so be prepared to see a bunch of those in the coming weeks…if I decide to post them. Here’s one that [...]

We are back!

We left Montana yesterday to a nice 30 degrees. We arrived in Davenport and it was negative 1. It is now snowing so I suspect that it has warmed up some what. As usual all the schools have delayed starts and some closures. School is almost a joke out here. [...]
