This is a bit of a different walk down memory lane. One of the first things I did when I started working from home was cleaning out what I guess what you would call my spare desk. I didn’t want to dump a bunch of work stuff on my normal… Read More »Chris’ New House 2009
25 days working from home down. No clue how many are left, but I’m guessing it at least 2 more weeks. This week with my extra stay at home time, I mopped my floors. All of them. Not counting the basement. We don’t talk about the basement! I also cleaned… Read More »Elainie Homecoming Ch. 1
I’ve finally got around to sharing pictures of my great-nephew Kanoa. He was born late last August and he is so cute that I wanted to keep all his pictures to myself. But I can’t keep all the cuteness to myself. What is the old saying, “Cuteness held is the… Read More »Free One
Since Monday’s reveal of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE submissions I have been flooded (virtually) with questions about what Naima listens to when she has her headphones on. To be honest, she doesn’t listen to music on headphones. She finds them to be incredibly uncomfortable, as the pictures below will surely… Read More »A Spectacle Monopolized
Going to start today with a quote. Those of you who get it, will get it. Those of you that don’t, ask somebody: “I think we should legalize marijuana in this country. Just so potheads have nothing to talk about ever again.” -Daniel Tosh +++++++ WooHoo!! 29 straight weeks of… Read More »WPC – WEEK 240 – EARS
Delving into the 2019 backlog. This is a collection of pictures that span a couple different trips to Dickcissel Park with Naima. Most of the pictures are from the second trip where we encountered a wounded goose. The goose had been injured some way above its leg. It was out… Read More »Wild Goose Chase
This is the final collection of pictures from my trip to the Minnesota State Fair with Bethany, Becca, Jonah, and Shawn. These are the cruddy cell phone pictures. One thing that I found disappointing when I went back and looked at these is that I didn’t take pictures of my… Read More »Minnesota State Fair – Pixel Pictures
This morning’s post is a collection of some rando photos I took across a couple of days. A couple are of Naima, but most are taken in the Boone County Hospital Pond. Feels like we are getting down to the nitty-gritty of the 2019 backlog. But there are still some… Read More »Raggle-Taggle
Here is the final collection of Minnesota State Fair pictures that came from a real camera. This highlight being pictures of Becca and Jonah going down the giant slide. A secondary highlight is the extremely creepy statue right next to the giant slide. The final place we visited before calling… Read More »Minnesota State Fair #3
One of the problems with being so far behind in photo editing is that I come across a collection of pictures and I vaguely remember why I took them. I believe that I took most of this pictures when I was dinking around with the “toy camera” setting on the… Read More »Hasbro
In this second collection of pictures from my trip to the Minnesota State Fair with Bethany, Becca, Jonah, and Shawn, I reveal a picture of the All You Can Drink Milk Stand. It is a good half mile, at least from the famous cookie place. There are also a couple… Read More »Minnesota State Fair #2
I need to start today by wishing the happiest of birthdays to Faust! It has been a couple of years since I saw Faust in person. When this virus passes, he will be on the shortlist of people I need to go visit. And not just because he lives in… Read More »WPC – WEEK 239 – ART
14 work days of working from home in the books. I think the last time I indicated that I was starting to get a system going. Now I can say that I’m starting to get comfortable working from home. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I’ll pumped when… Read More »Minnesota State Fair #1
This collection of images from the 2019 backlog are from December. The pictures of Naima I took out at her favorite stomping grounds, Dickcissel Park. The pictures of Willy are from track at Goeppinger Field. The Willy pictures are alternates for the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme of SPORTS/GAMES. Really… Read More »Chewed Up and Spit Out and Booed Off Stage
As we get deeper and deeper into quarantine, I think that there is a chance that participation rates will decline. However, this week, we did manage to make it all the way to 27 straight weeks of double digit submissions! WooHoo! But you didn’t come here to listen to me… Read More »WPC – WEEK 238 – GOVERNMENT

I took several pictures of my sad, pathetic, battered, old trombone. These are the ones that didn’t make the big cut for the big show on Monday. That poor trombone should probably go in the trash, but I worry that the trash man wouldn’t even accept it. +++++++ This is… Read More »The Numbing Sensation of Everything
Another post hitting up the 2019 backlog. This post is a collection of a few different photo outings, but perhaps none of them had enough pictures to have their own post. Some pictures are flowers from my Grandma’s house. Then there are some pictures from the Youth Group Pool Party.… Read More »Piebald
Hitting up the 2019 backlog with a collection of pictures I took on the same day as when I took Taylan’s Senior pictures. Some are of flowers. Some are of Naima. Some are of Logan and Mom leaving one of the worst restaurants we’ve ever eaten at. Still a long… Read More »Multifarious
Wow! 26 straight weeks of double digits! I’m so impressed! But you didn’t come her to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions: Andy Sharp Monica Henning Monica Henning Monica Henning Monica Henning Elizabeth Nordeen Kim Barker Dawn Krause Angie DeWaard Aaron… Read More »WPC – WEEK 237 – MUSIC
I didn’t take a ton of pictures at Pufferbilly Days last year. Probably because there wasn’t a petting zoo. Probably because I didn’t really make more than an appearance at the parade. Probably because there really wasn’t much left by the time Sunday came around. I did spend 3 days… Read More »Pufferbilly Days – 2019
