Time to start sharing my recent food adventure in Philadelphia. This was a work trip, so all the food was on the Computer Mine’s dime. At least hopefully. We will once again do a per diem check to see if I was able to cover 7 days of food with… Read More »Philly Grub: Day 1
We are done with the food adventures in Austin, but we aren’t returning to an exactly normal food adventure. It is a food adventure from around here, but the restaurant is the family restaurant of the lady friend of a good friend of mine. So, while it was fantastic, I’m… Read More »Steak-umm: Altoona Field Work
It is a good time to share the THE SELFIE PROJECT images I took in April. It was a fairly busy month. There was the end of the season of Lent. There was also the work trip to Philadelphia. A busier month than most. Here are the April selfie images:… Read More »Selfie Project – April 2025
The 6th day of my Computer Mine Conference trip was just the trip home. After Day 5, this is what was left in my per diem account: $257.98 Our flight was too early in the morning for me to even hit the RP Club for breakfast. No breakfast. Cell phone… Read More »Trip Home from Austin
Happy Easter everybody! Christ is risen! Here is the Easter Devotional I would like to share: Many churches of all denominations begin worship on Easter Sunday by singing “Christ the Lord is Risen Today.” Charles Wesley’s lyrics wonderfully celebrate how Jesus’ resurrection is God’s victory over death, and call us to tell the… Read More »Austin Grub: Day 5
Shortly after Elainie and Sabas brought our newest family member into the world I went down to their place and photographed Elawyn. It has taken me an embarrassingly long time to share these images, but I wanted to make sure that everybody had a chance to see the birth announcement.… Read More »Elawyn

The final town I stopped in for the 2024 RAGBRAI was Milo. They had a fun theme of Milo-ritaville. They had all sorts of Jimmy Buffett themed decorations and activities.

It is the first day of April… which means that I should share all the March selfies for THE SELFIE PROJECT. I didn’t travel very much in March. I’d hoped to travel more, but both of Iowa State’s basketball teams had disappointing ends to their seasons. So I mostly just… Read More »Selfie Project – March 2025
Time for Day 2 of my food adventure in Austin, Texas. The lame one. With all the music and no SPAM Museum. After Day 1, this is what was left in my per diem account: $317.90 Lowell and I began putting the rooms (that were available to us) together about… Read More »Austin Grub: Day 2
The next few food adventures are going to concentrate on the cell phone pictures I took on my recent work trip to Austin. The food pictures in this post are regrettably pretty terrible. I apologize for that a head of time. On the positive though, the food was delicious! Since… Read More »Austin Grub: Day 1
Down to nearly the end of the New Orleans images. Day 6 was the second to last day of the trip. This is the last day of the Big Meeting and is usually 12 hour or so day. So there isn’t a whole of time for any photography. Plus the… Read More »New Orleans Day 6: Walkabout

It is a good time to share the February images from THE SELFI PROJECT. I think it was a pretty good month. Like always I get to the end of February and think, “I really didn’t do all that much this month.” But then I start going through the selfies… Read More »Selfie Project – February 2025

A few weeks back Jay had the grand idea of trying Indian for Friday Night Supper Club. To be honest, it has been years since the last time I ate Indian. And I mean years. I bet it has been at least a decade. So a plan was hatched and… Read More »Messala! Ames Field Work
As many of you have heard, I had to say goodbye the Camry. I don’t get too attached to physical things. Well, I like to think I’m not, but everything about my house probably says I’m lying to myself about that. But let’s just go with I don’t get too… Read More »Requiem for a Camry

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I need to start this entry by acknowledging him and all that he contributed to our nation. The true history of Martin Luther King Jr. has been sanitized recently to make him more palatable to white suburbanites. You will even see some of… Read More »WPC – WEEK 488 – COLORFUL
