Kalona (Part 1)
Some pictures from the trip to Kalona. The beginning of the trip was a little bit sad. It turns out that one of my favorite restaurants, The Kalona Cupboard, has went out of business. We tried out The Parlor Cafe, but it was not anywhere near as good as The… Read More »Kalona (Part 1)
Euphonious
Friday was an interesting day. Of course there was the high of it being Free Gyro Day, but the rest of the work day went rather uneventful. It was near 5:30, the time I was going to run out of hours and check out for the week, when my phone… Read More »Euphonious
Spoiled
Last week was National Customer Service Week. I don’t know if this is a real week that exists in the real world, but it is a pretty big deal at the Computer Mine. This year we got 75 dollars in gift certificates, a travel mug and a 4 port USB… Read More »Spoiled

Doesn’t Turn Soggy in Milk
I woke up this morning with a mighty powerful hankering for some Cyclone Crunch. Contributed Camera Phone Photo It is mighty tasty and I encourage you to go out and buy some today. It tastes mighty good after doing some crowbar work on a party bus. But I talk too… Read More »Doesn’t Turn Soggy in Milk
Work Half Done
Before delving further into the Cyclone game, I need to post a website.

Stupid John Greenleaf Whittier
I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to move my website to a different server. That is going to be a goal of mine in the next couple of weeks. Until then, I’m going to have to post all of the Kansas game pictures in the journal. I’m going… Read More »Stupid John Greenleaf Whittier

Happy Birthday Sara!
Today is Sara’s birthday. Rather than post a bunch of pictures of Sara for Sara’s birthday, I’m going to take a slightly different tact. Yesterday I wrote about Sara auditioning to become a Photography 139 Photo Assistant. She got high marks for having a big purse. One of her few… Read More »Happy Birthday Sara!

Done Waiting
About 3 Sundays ago while I was leaving the sanctuary, Andrea told me that she was thinking about me when she wrote her section for the October Bulletin. That made me a bit nervous. Was there some particular message that I in particular needed to hear? This Sunday the new… Read More »Done Waiting
St. Elmo’s Fire
There was an article about Willy and his running ways in the Boone News Republican on Friday. Because of the weird way that they printed the article, I couldn’t scan the whole thing in one scan. For reasons I can’t quite figure out, the Boone News Republican (maybe they are… Read More »St. Elmo’s Fire

Happy Birthday Mom!
I thought I would celebrate my Mom’s birthday by posting some pictures of her from the 1970s. I think that might be our old milk truck in the background! With the best child. With the middle child. Out at McHose Park. Out at the old house on W. 15th Street.… Read More »Happy Birthday Mom!
First Meet
Alexis had her first gymnastics meet on Sunday. She totally ripped it up. Just look at all the precious metal she brought back with her from that other side of the state. I don’t know how she can even stand up! This is how she did: 6th on Floor 3rd… Read More »First Meet
