A Great Saturday

Many great things happened on Saturday. Iowa State beat Kansas State I got to take my nephew Johnathan to his first ever Cyclone football game. I got to tailgate with the Fausts, Willy, Jay, and Derrick. Then just to put icing on the Great Day Cake: Kansas put up over… Read More »A Great Saturday

B.B.A.T.

This is a small collection of 4 different stories about 4 different people. Monica I really only wanted two birthday presents this past year. One was stained glass from Jen. I got that back in May. The second present was a painting from Monica. I got that on Wednesday. She… Read More »B.B.A.T.

Costumes

It was Beggars’ Night in Boone on Wednesday night. Thought I’d post a couple of pictures of some people who showed up on the porch.

HP Laserjet 4100

I’ve learned a few things toiling in the computer mine. The most valuable bit of new knowledge I have gained is how completely worthless UPS is as a shipper. I’ve learned that if you have an option other than UPS, be it Federal Express, DHL, Speedee Delivery, or a crackhead… Read More »HP Laserjet 4100

BSVRR!

I mentioned that I was going to celebrate the peak of fall colors with a little train ride. The pictures from the train ride are now posted. Just follow the link below: BOONE & SCENIC VALLEY RAILROAD It was a very overcast and dark day. That meant a large aperture… Read More »BSVRR!

I’m Vi Woodcock

One last Kubrick reference for the week and for the people that aren’t sick of Kubrick yet*. I feel when discussing retirement or of quitting a job that one loathes the movie most apropos would be Spartacus. When I had a job I hated I often dreamed of leading my… Read More »I’m Vi Woodcock

Fuzzy Warbles

“What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got, say, pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angels’ trumpets and devils’ trombones. You are invited!” – Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange)> If you are a lover of… Read More »Fuzzy Warbles

Pictures Size Test

This blog is just to test how different sized images will look in this journal. The picture is the picture that FNSC and auxiliary member Jesse Howard will be sending to our sponsored child in Uganda if I ever get off my duff and print it up and send it… Read More »Pictures Size Test

Possible Preview

This might just be a preview for a new feature of this website or at the very least, a new endeavor for yours truly and Mr. Janson. If you do not see a video below, your boss is blocking YouTube. VIDEO DELETED – HOPEFULLY I am planning on going to… Read More »Possible Preview

First Crack

I took my first crack at some fall pictures during my lunch break today. I wasn’t 100% pleased with anything. However, I will go back out for my lunch break tomorrow with a guy holding an umbrella. That guy is Jesse. It is good to have him back at the… Read More »First Crack

Renaissance

“Every renaissance comes to the world with a cry, the cry of the human spirit to be free.” -Anne Sullivan Macy Jesse has been sitting on his couch for the last eight weeks watching reruns of Hannah Montana and dreaming of a day when he could return to his office… Read More »Renaissance

New Post Secret Book

Today is the day the new Post Secret book is released. To celebrate an event of this magnitude, I’ve decided to throw up some of my favorite postcards from the past. (Okay in reality a lot of these postcards are the ones currently on the Postsecret website.) Sara is currently… Read More »New Post Secret Book

Johnny Consumer

I’d like to think that I had a better than average week this week. It started out poorly as the Padres lost to the Rockies in a play in game and despite the fact that the umpire blew the call that gave the Rockies the win, I accept the loss… Read More »Johnny Consumer

Clans

I wrote recently that the Herrick family was always intertwined with the destiny of the Bennetts. There is another family that also has always been side by side with the Bennetts. That clan is the Maddux clan. I don’t think that I had seen a single Maddux this year until… Read More »Clans

Homecoming

This past weekend was Homecoming in Boone. This ended up being quite the production for Johnathan, Elainie, and Brandon. Below are some pictures of them all dressed up and looking slick. As you can tell, Elainie was really into getting her picture taken. Brandon and Johnathan? Not so much.

Greg and Amanda

Saturday was a momentous occasion. It was first time in the history of my knowing Greg I saw him not wearing a hat. Oh yeah, he also married Amanda too. Here are a few pictures from the reception and a few random candle pictures thrown in at the end.

Thomas the Scam

Every year I feel myself compelled to go down to the B&SVRR when they are scamming small children and draining the coffers of their parents with Thomas the Tank. I admit that it really isn’t their doing. They put on a pretty good show. There is a magician and a… Read More »Thomas the Scam

Mystery Barn

I spent Saturday morning hanging out in an old barn on my Aunt Linda’s acreage. She had suggested it as a place to find interesting photo subjects. I scouted it out on Thursday night after work and came back on Saturday morning when there was better light so I could… Read More »Mystery Barn

Lunch Break

Yesterday I went to Central Campus to see Obama speak. I didn’t have a memory card with me, so I had to borrow a camera from a co-worker. It is a good camera, but it only has a 3X optical zoom, so a couple of these pictures are very heavily… Read More »Lunch Break
