House and Scottie D. at the Pufferbilly Days Barbecue Contest Team Baby Got Rack placed third in all barbecue categories. Their ribs definitely deserved higher.

The Inner Willy When Willy found this wig in my basement I made a deal with him (one that DaeHee may recall), if you take it out of the basement, it doesn’t come back to the basement. The wig was a former possession of Jen Gorshe.

Tenderloining – Gramma’s Kitchen – Walcott
I recently made a trip with Logan and Teresa to see Ernie in Kuttawa, Kentucky. We were leaving in the evening on a Wednesday night, so we would be eating supper on the road before we nestled down for a Motel 6 nap. As you can tell by either listening… Read More »Tenderloining – Gramma’s Kitchen – Walcott
Tenderloining – Cole’s – Slater
I’ve wanted to try the tenderloin at Cole’s in Slater ever since I read this article in the Ames Tribune: Little shop keeps up memory of fallen Marine But it would seem that every time I ended up in Slater, the only thing on my mind was their delicious ice… Read More »Tenderloining – Cole’s – Slater

Self-Portrait Project: Week 1
To replace RWPE on Mondays this year, I am going to attempt to take a self-portrait every day this year. I have no expectations that I will take 366 winners (or even 66 winners for that matter), but that isn’t necessarily the point. Although you will be able to see… Read More »Self-Portrait Project: Week 1
Cololoin
Scottie D. and I are in constant search of the planet’s best tenderloin. As Iowa is home to the best tenderloins on the planet, we haven’t had to stray too far from our front door. Recent events have forced us out of those front doors as the BK’s in Ogden… Read More »Cololoin
Happy Birthday Lone Salmon!
Read this like I published it on Friday. Happy Birthday to the other remaining founding member of FNSC! I hope that you went out and completely “rented the moment” on your birthday.
Fun with Light
A few weeks ago after FNSC, Dawn and Jay assisted me with my RWPE. Here are a few of the other pictures from that photo session: The poor rope light did not survive the night.
William McAlpine
Willy picked his picture over a hunk of salmon at The Colorado Grill during FNSC. Trouble Willy also thoughtfully considered this photo of Derrick. The reason I enter photo contests is that enjoy watching other people look at my pictures. I know that is slightly voyeuristic, but I can deal… Read More »William McAlpine
In This Old Purple Town
“This song is about a man that tells the truth about things that didn’t happen. It seems to be a male thing.” -Glen Hansard – Introducing “Lies” at First Avenue – July 25, 2010 Most of this comes from an email that I wrote about my weekend in Minnesota. Sara… Read More »In This Old Purple Town
Dr. The Incidental Gardener
Since today is/was an extremely big day for the person that gave me the name “The Incidental Gardener”, I thought I would share a few more things from the files of The Incidental Gardener. For FNSC last week Carrie, Jason and I helped Nader move some of the hundreds of… Read More »Dr. The Incidental Gardener
Unaffiliated Triad
A collection of unrelated photos and stories… Bill’s Return Bill returned to Boone briefly on Saturday. A few pictures from our time together. At FNSC Willy agreed to attempt to eat ice cream on 100 straight days. At first he balked at attempting such a thing, but the more he… Read More »Unaffiliated Triad
Memorial Day Weekend

Vacation Day 7 – Couch Time
When I originally was planning my vacation I had set aside this day to make a road trip. I didn’t know where I wanted to go for sure, but I knew that a trip to Wilton and their old timey ice cream parlor was definitely on the list. I had… Read More »Vacation Day 7 – Couch Time
My Great Shame
I cited a FNSC ending in My Great Shame a few journal entries back, but I never indicated what was My Great Shame. A few people already know about My Great Shame because I exposed those people to it. I’m not sure if I exposed them because I wanted them… Read More »My Great Shame
Fount
When I recategorized the entries in this journal, there is one category that was sorely aching to be added, but I decided not add it because I was a tad bit fearful. You? The Great Christopher D. Bennett was fearful? I know it seems an unlikely turn of events, but… Read More »Fount
