The Wife and I are finally starting our Fourth of July vacation. Except for a three-day weekend over Memorial Day, next week will be the first days we’ve had off since New Year’s Day. We both are really looking forward to relaxing and recharging our batteries. It’s a “staycation” so we’ll be around the house (and intermittently posting). We’ll see everyone on the other side.
Have a GREAT holiday!

The Wife and I are getting pretty good at rowing. She’s better than I am; and we both have steadily improved. The boats don’t seem nearly as narrow and unstable as they did when we first started. We still have … Continue reading
I mentioned recently that our neighbors in the back are building a swimming pool. And that it takes up most of their back yard. I’m not sure that they realize it yet but they have “orphaned” their storage shed. They can still walk to it relatively easily. But they won’t be able to squeeze anything large past their pool. It will be interesting to see how they reach their lawn mower when they next cut their grass. (They don’t have a back yard anymore; but, they still have a lawn in the front.)

The Wife and I were planning on going for an afternoon row (in a double); but, just when we got to the boat house, it started to rain. So, we decided to go home and work on our teamwork and … Continue reading
An interior monologue from me (and sometimes the wife).
Today is the first full day of summer and longest day of the year. And, the weather has been sunny and warm. It’s really starting to feel like summer. So, as the Friday before the Friday before our customary Independence Day vacation concludes, The Wife and I are wishing for a time machine. We would like nothing better than to fast forward to our much anticipated Fourth of July staycation. We’ve definitely got sumeritis.
We ended up with an interesting candid from our weekly photo section when we were in the midst of switching positions. We’ve also included the pictures that were taken immediately before and after for some perspective. It’s our preferred method of taking photographs; but, using the self-timer with our camera is unpredictable. Today, we have some pictures we like. Other days, not so much.
A coworker once remarked that all of the cars in the garage of people rushing to get home is like the second filming of Ben Hur. I almost got hit by one of the “chariots” on the way to my car this evening. My path was clear when I stared to walk; but a car zooming around two blind corners still almost hit me. I’m in hurry to get home too; but I still watch out for pedestrians. Apparently, expecting everyone else to do the same is asking too much.

The Wife and I have been rowing a lot recently since we both need a lot of practice and want to work on the things we need to work on while the weather is “good”. It’s mostly been too cool … Continue reading
