Day 9: Making Due

So we are in this apartment that is attached to a motel. It has a living room, dining room, a bedroom and a kitchen.  It’s a bit “oldish”.  By “oldish” I mean that the walls are this pukey color green and it smells old.  When we arrived we checked the kitchen to see what was [...]

Day 8: House Hunting

Today we got out and did some exploring of Cheyenne.  On the list was finding the super Wal-Mart.  We found it and did some generic shopping.  The prices were MUCH better than Safeway that we went to yesterday.  So we breathed a sigh of relief on that front.   Oh yeah…if you’ve been to one Wal-Mart [...]

Day 7: Sticker Shock!

This morning we took off from Lincoln Nebraska and made our way across the state. We ran into a rain storm for at least half of the drive which slowed us down somewhat, but not that much. We arrived safely and are in our apartment with the cats. The cats travelled as well as could [...]

Days 3,4,5 and 6

Day 3:  We had our last dance lesson on Wednesday.  As with so many other this in this adventure it was kind of bittersweet.  We did get a couple of new moves in the swing and the tango which was awesome.  Now we just have to find some place to practice when we get to [...]

Day 2: De-constructing home

No surprise here…we did more packing today.  And today it started to bother me a little bit. I think it’s because for the next who knows how many weeks, hopefully some small number, we will be without a home.  For the last 4 years we’ve called this place home and now we are packing EVERYTHING [...]

Day 1: Packing and lots of it!

Today was the first day that I’ve been unemployed in nearly 10 years.  It’s only temporary, but it’s started to bother me a little bit.  It’s a good thing that we’ve got a ton of things to do before we leave on Saturday.
Today found us attempting to get my license renewed but they were closed [...]

Beat down by 5 year olds!

“You have to wear this shirt today,” My wife tells me.
The shirt says: “This is the Oldest I’ve ever been”.
So I do as I’m told.
My wife and a friend of ours have been planning a party for the 2 guys who were turning 30.  We are going out to a place called Michaels Fun World [...]

Sweet Revenge

You ever been driving across a bridge minding your own business and you look in your rear view mirror and you see some scumbag tailgating you despite the fact that your going 10 miles an hour over the speed limit (speed limit is 30 and your going 40 and still getting passed like your not [...]

30 Years!

For the past 3 years my wife has been giving me a hard time about turning 30 and on Friday it will finally come true.  I will be 30 years old.  In addition it’s my last day at my current job.  Perhaps a kind of birthday present to myself and the start of something new [...]

Only a geek could think of this

We went and saw Resident Evil Extinction this weekend.  A decent film.  If you liked the other 2, then you will like this one.
As I was watching this and oogling the outfit that they had Mila Not going to try and spell her last name in, it occured to me that only a geek could [...]
