Long time no see…

Friday, March 6th, 2009

I haven’t written anything on here for a while. I don’t really have anything new going on. We’re going to take a weekend trip at the end of the month to watch Steve run in his marathon race in Kansas. I’ll be on vacation after that, I hope the weather cooperates. Maybe I’ll actually get […]

Planes, trains, and automobiles (and 18-wheelers, and dump trucks, and every other kind of vehicle you can think of).

Yeah, they’re all going past the front of my house! Well, maybe not the planes and trains, but it sure sounds like it. They closed the viaduct in Columbus yesterday, and now all that Hwy 81 traffic is coming right past my front door…and will be for another 9-10 months! I’m sure I’ll get used […]

Noon…Eastern Time

11am Central Time…our new president takes his oath of office. I don’t think I’ve wanted to watch one of those since I was in school. History will be made today (one way or another). There are a lot of people in Washington DC today…a lot more than they thought there would be. I think those […]

Icy Roads…

Yesterday I stayed home from work because of icy roads. Pat was supposed to be coming home from Wyoming yesterday…I hope he made it without any trouble. As far as I could tell he should have had clear roads most of the way.
