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
Happy Maundy Thursday! Traditionally I would have been a the Computer Mine for a full hour by the time this was publishing.

The pictures from the folder 2009-09-27 come from a Saturday when I went down to Des Moines to watch Jen compete in the Des Moines Regatta and watched Iowa State beat Army in football. All the pageantry that comes with Army coming to your stadium is pretty amazing. Iowa State… Read More »2009-09-27
This is Day 1 of me working from home for the next couple of weeks. So far, so good. I haven’t been crushed with the loneliness of isolation, yet. However, I also have been chatting quite a bit with people. So maybe it will set in this afternoon. One bonus… Read More »WPC – WEEK 236 – ENTERTAINMENT

The pictures in the folder 2009-09-24 are from the annual Howard Family Photo Shoot in 2009. Sometimes I look at old photos and think about how much I have improved as a photographer, but I think the area I’ve grown the most as a photographer is as a family photographer.… Read More »2009-09-24

I wasn’t sure if I was going to still take these two days… Read More »I Don’t Know Why You’re Mean to Me
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to those of you that celebrate. I don’t. I’m mostly of Scottish and Welsh stock, so I’ve been trained by the English to hate the Irish and I do. I do hate the Irish. At least I hate the Notre Dame Fighitn’ Irish. They can straight… Read More »Pride. Integrity. Guts.

The last two years my church has manned the food stand at the Municipal Band Festival. The first year it was pretty successful, but maybe slightly unethical. Last year, it wasn’t very successful from a financial standpoint, but people that worked it had a good time. Here are some pictures… Read More »Band Festival
FASHION barely drew enough interest to march our double digit submission streak all the way to 22. I mean, if you’ve seen the way my friends dress, it is obvious that FASHION wasn’t going to appeal to many of them. Not everybody is a dandy like me. But you didn’t… Read More »WPC – WEEK 233 – FASHION
