Jesse Goes to Africa – Collection 1
For a few days in a row, I’m going to post 10 pictures from Jesse’s trip. I only know one of the people that he went on the trip with and I don’t know what is going on in the pictures because we haven’t had a chance to go over… Read More »Jesse Goes to Africa – Collection 1
The Outer Limits
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We can reduce the… Read More »The Outer Limits
Raise a Glass
I went to a fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association on Friday night with Sara and Amy. It was an interesting evening. The basic point of the night was wine tasting and art for sale. I don’t drink, so I mostly looked at art. However, there was one point where… Read More »Raise a Glass
Lousy with People
I spent a good portion of Sunday at Ledges. Unfortunately, the place was packed, but I was able to take some photos.
Sore Feet
On Friday night I went to an American Diabetes Fundraiser with Sara and Cousin Amy. I have more to write on that little evening, but I will wait until I get the pictures from that event from Sara. After we left the event, Sara and Amy agreed to accompany me… Read More »Sore Feet
The Hero of Africa
He raped the whole country of morality, of integrity. He implemented a trend of corruption in a people who were not corrupt. He raised a generation of people who wanted to steal rather than to work for personal gain. -Robert Kayanja, Miracle Centre Cathedral in Kampala, Uganda That is a… Read More »The Hero of Africa
Sedulous
Once a year I get together and have a meal with Mark Wolfram. Unfortunately for me, I only get to see Mark once a year because he spends most of the year in Taiwan teaching, doing mission work and publishing The Taiwan Times. Wednesday night was that night. Mark met… Read More »Sedulous
Another Reason to Hate Abercrombie and Fitch
Tuesday was the birthday of Ernest Hemingway. He is one of my favorite writers, along with Nathaniel West and Salinger. I borrowed this from The Writer’s Almanac because I found the information about The Moveable Feast to be fascinating and previously unknown to me. It’s the birthday of Ernest Hemingway,… Read More »Another Reason to Hate Abercrombie and Fitch
Future Road Trip Master?
Brandon got his driver’s license this week. I believe that when you reach a certain age, you are required by social norms to make a few certain cliche jokes when certain events occur. One such event is when somebody gets their first driver’s license. An aged person should give out… Read More »Future Road Trip Master?
Boone County Fair
This is not meant to be in any way shape or form meant to be bragging. It is merely meant to be informative, since not everybody makes it to the Boone County Fair. I wanted to enter a couple of pictures in the Boone County Fair “photography contest”. As it… Read More »Boone County Fair

The Most Tolerable Third Party
A little before the 4th of July, I purchased a box of sparklers. I had some thought of what I wanted to do with them, but seeing how I’m never at home and few people visit me at night, I had not much of an opportunity to do what I… Read More »The Most Tolerable Third Party
Yet There is Method In It
On Saturday, after going to the gym, helping Becky move, having lunch at Papa Chubby’s, touring Andree’s new digs but before going to Jeff’s birthday barbecue, I went down to check out Midnight Madness. On my way from the car to the event, I took these pictures: Once I got… Read More »Yet There is Method In It
DFDA54
So the garlic might not have been the last mystery of my backyard. I still didn’t know what color my lilies would be when they bloomed. I got that answer late last week. Although I’m not in love with the color, it is satisfactory enough. At least they aren’t something… Read More »DFDA54

New Digs
“Home is where you hang your head.” -Groucho Marx On Saturday, Baier and I finally got to see Andree’s new digs. It is a pretty sweet house. It includes a double decker deck. I already want to have parties there.
