A Dog
A few weeks back Becky picked up a new (to her) dog. She brought it over and we communed over a photo shoot. > She is a Great Dane, if you were wondering.

Vacation Stuff – One
I was on vacation last week. I had a few mini-adventures. Here are some pictures from one of those mini-adventures. If you have specific questions about certain pictures, I am willing to answer direct questions. But the answer will be in 5 words or less.
Jill Gorshe
I was pleasantly surprised by Jill’s choice. Since I had decided to have all people of the female persuasion pick the photos this year, I thought a frog picture would get very little love. But Jill came through for the frog. “It’ll Do Fine” I actually struggled with the naming… Read More »Jill Gorshe
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.
Memorial Day Backyard
I have a bush in my backyard. In fact, I have several bushes in my backyard. But one of those bushes is special. That one bush holds a nest. Recently the eggs in the nest started to hatch. Out of those eggs came baby grackles. I’m a long time hater… Read More »Memorial Day Backyard
Arizona Day 2
More than a bit behind. Some pictures from Day 2 in Arizona. The day mostly consisted of bumming around with Jesse’s family. We saw a few random Cubs. We had dinner with Colleen and Kirk.
Thelma and Louise
On Sunday night we took Jesse out to Buffet City to celebrate his birthday. Ever since that night I have had the song The Crawdad Hole stuck in my head. You get a line and I’ll get a pole Honey! You get a line and I’ll get a pole Babe!… Read More »Thelma and Louise
Saturday Night
On Saturday Night I met Jeff and Yin in Des Moines for Supper. Although I was horribly sleepy when I got home on Saturday night two things reinvigorated me. I took a brief 30 minute nap. I watched the Paul Rhoads press conference. It was very refreshing to see a… Read More »Saturday Night
Muskrat Carcass
This is just a random image. I thought you might find it interesting and you might want something interesting after the story below. On Tuesday a few of us miners went to Pizza Pit for lunch because a new employee allegedly loved chicken wings, but as it turns out, he… Read More »Muskrat Carcass
Ottumwa
I spent most of Monday with Sara. We started the day by lunching at Fresh Cafe and Market. It is an interesting little restaurant in West Des Moines that is only open about 20 hours a week. They specialize in serving an organic menu. We started the meal with a… Read More »Ottumwa

That is right I got: A career change opportunity Discharged The Pink Slip Dehired Canned Downsized Let Go Outsourced Made Redundant Skill-mix Adjustment Released Walking Papers Shown the Door The Ax Terminated Sacked… Read More »Volt-face
Dear, Beloved, Precious
My Aunt Linda is renting out her acreage. This has caused her to get rid of some of the things in the acreage. I benefited from this downsizing by getting a sweet new table. Aunt Linda So I got Steve and Jesse together and we drove over to the acreage… Read More »Dear, Beloved, Precious
Senior Pictures
Saturday morning I took Brandon’s Senior pictures. I’d like to share some of my favorite pictures from that photo shoot. It is good to take pictures of somebody that doesn’t mind when you need to stop to take some quality frog pictures.
The Long Road Back (Part 1)
Last Thursday, the Cyclones began their long return from the abyss. Last year the Cyclones were embarrassed at The Jack in their opening game of the season. This year they took another step towards redemption by routing their opening opponent. The South Dakota State Jackrabbits were not a match for… Read More »The Long Road Back (Part 1)
Estranged
A couple more pictures that were not selected. I took this picture last year when Jay went on his first ever trip on the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad. I threw this particular picture into the mix to see if anybody would consider selecting this picture because of the nature… Read More »Estranged
State Fair Flowers
I love the gardens at the State Fair. Pretty, but not quite as tasty as some shaved ice.
State Fair Olla Podrida
A random selection of pictures from my trip to the State Fair with my Mom, Jay and Teresa. Ran into Jeff and Yin on the shuttle to the Fair. My new favorite hat. My favorite State Fair Food. (I firmly believe that “food on a stick” is for tourists.) Pioneer… Read More »State Fair Olla Podrida
