Mr. Vonnegut, rest in peace.

Winter tracks on a Wisconsin window

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Seen on my living room window last night

I took a cooler (in terms of color) version as well.  The arching swoop of the trail below the star doesn’t show up nearly as well here as it did in real life - more a reflection of my photographic skills than anything else, I’m sure.

We have returned…

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

We were vacating in St Augustine Beach, Fl from Christmas Day through New Years Day.  Great trip staying in a condo just off the beach (the condo complex has direct access to the beach).  It was warm enough to get in the ocean, and the kids and I had a great time in the water.  Got to see […]

Aurora Borealis visible from Wisconsin

Friday, December 15th, 2006

Driving home last night, somewhere around here, I glanced out my driver’s side window and saw a slight glow in the sky.  At first I thought it was the moon behind the clouds, but as I watched it spread across the sky and took on a distinct greenish cast.
It quickly became apparent that I […]

Walt Whitman

 This picture of Whitman always reminds me of my dad.  Well, in point of fact, anything about Whitman does (he wrote his PhD dissertation on Whitman)

Please welcome my wife to the blogging masses:

Her blog can be found at One-Eyed Cat.  I expect great things….

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Monday night, the co-op membership voted 83-3 to grant the board the authority to close the store and take whatever steps are necessary to address lingering debt and back taxes. “We needed to close to explore what our options are,” said board member Jennifer Feyerherm. from Mifflin […]

My battle with the squirrels

Monday, November 20th, 2006

After extensive damage to my work restoring our side porch, a family of squirrels has taken up residence in the roof of the porch.  I’ve since discovered that squirrels can effectively bring out the most bestial impulses in my normally placid and unflappable demeanor.  I throw rocks at them (successfully knocking a couple of […]

Vacation!

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Travelling to South Dakota for a week or so.
If you’re interested, our rough itinerary can be viewed on Windows Live.

No connectivity, no email, no internet. Just family.
