Happy Birthday to Miss Emily Slusher, who turns 6 today.
Happy Birthday to my lovely wife, who turns something a tad north of 6 today.
My love to you both.-k-
One of the hoped for but not expressly articulated events of our trip was being reintroduced to our friends’ eldest son, his lovely wife, and their cute-as-a-bug’s-ear daughter. I had not seen their son since he was in diapers; it was inappropriate to go through my usual my how you’ve grown routine.
On Saturday morning, [...]
We took a cruise down the Chicago River and out onto Lake Michigan on our recent visit. Our host had gone below to avail himself of the plumbing facilities and cash bar. So, my little bride and I did the classic touristy thing; we handed our camera to a fellow tourist, [...]
Tomorrow, we head west and a tad north towards Chicago. We’re visiting a college bud of mine, and his little bride.
Whilst there, we’re planning on attending the first night Nextel Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway.
Like every trip, getting the electronics and spare batteries packed is always the biggest challenge. That’s done, [...]

Sometimes, your hometown paper renders good news. In this case, SWMBO and I read that my first boss and his wife are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Their actual wedding date is August 25, but when you get the paper at post office speed, and combine that with native sloth on my part1, the [...]
July 30 is a day of some historical happenings here at Casa tbbs; some happy, some sad, and some just cute.
Firstly, SWMBO celebrates a birthday of some numerical significance, in that the least significant digit in her age is zero. I’ll leave as an exercise what the most significant digit is; I will, by [...]
