I tried to post this a few days ago but had some problems. So here goes... So, as I was saying in...when was that? I'm working again. Got a job as a consultant for a company that has a government contract. Doing the usual stuff, IT documentation.…

Just got back in the house after helping SheWhoMustBeObeyed out on the patio putting in our "patio garden." It's a container garden with flowers, herbs and, of course, tomatoes (grape and cherry this year). Nice to finally be able to start growing.…

This is "M". He and his sister "Wink" are our cats. M likes to supervise EVERTHING and EVERYONE. Here he is lurking behind my laptop...wanting to use it, no doubt.

I tried to add this yesterday, but fumble-fingered the post and it went in to the intarweb somewhere. So here goes "take two"... On April 4th, my beautiful wife and I made our first trip into downtown Chicago in many months. It's so close, but for…

Here with you in the snow in SW Michigan, Buchanan to be exact. Ah yes our beloved/dispised four seasons, what would we be without them? A touch warmer today perhaps? Ah well, writing here by the woodstove looking out at the quickly disappearing sno…

Will, I can relate -- we are Detroiters, and we watched a very scenice snowfall come down last night (scenic for Christmastime, that is!). I expect our last snow of the season to be in May, as usual -- and yet, I'm the first one to carp about missin…

Happy Boxing Day

Hope you all had a nice holiday.

It's snowing here in Westmont...what a surprise, huh? Should stop around 5PM today, but still...it would have been better if this happened yesterday when we were staying at home. Oh, well, I guess I'll go snowblow the driveway in a little while. Have some errands to do.

Hard to believe that we're approaching the "end of the decade." Wow, 10 years ago we were all waiting for the global disaster that was Y2K...remember that? And it fizzled...and was a precursor o… Continue

No, I'm Still Here...

I tried to post this a few days ago but had some problems. So here goes...

So, as I was saying in...when was that?

I'm working again. Got a job as a consultant for a company that has a government contract. Doing the usual stuff, IT documentation. At least it's income...right? And in this economy, having a job is a good thing.

TV RECOMMENDATION:
I've become a fan of the show "Castle", starring Firefly's Nathan Fillion and the wonderful Susan Sullivan. Literate, witty and funny, it's a joy to w… Continue

Spring...Finally!!!

Just got back in the house after helping SheWhoMustBeObeyed out on the patio putting in our "patio garden." It's a container garden with flowers, herbs and, of course, tomatoes (grape and cherry this year). Nice to finally be able to start growing.

I've always had a garden, it seems. Every Spring, as soon as the plants are available at the nursery or home improvement store, there we are. Of course, living in the "Upper Midwest", you have to be sure the freeze season is over. May 4th this year..… Continue

Saturday, Downtown Chicago

I tried to add this yesterday, but fumble-fingered the post and it went in to the intarweb somewhere. So here goes "take two"...

On April 4th, my beautiful wife and I made our first trip into downtown Chicago in many months. It's so close, but for one reason or another, we go downtown rarely. Maybe it's the cost of parking...$26 dollars for about 4-5 hours. Yikes!

Anyhow, it was a beautiful early Spring day...sunny but COLD. We went to renew our membership in the Art Institute of Chicago and t… Continue

Wait a minute!!!! SNOW?????

We live just outside Chicago, IL, and woke up today to 4 INCHES OF SNOW!!!

Really, it's not that surprising. We've been here 15 years and we can get snow all the way through May, so this isn't so surprising. And with the temps pretty warm, it should melt soon....please...

When my camera battery charges, I'll post some pics. Of course, it's the heavy, wet snow we get in the Spring...yeah, it is Spring...and is a pain to shovel. I'm lucky, I have a snowblower. Really the best investment around h… Continue
