Fireworks Frenzy!!! August 31, 2007

They talk about the Cincinnati fireworks at least as far away as West Virginia, that’s where we moved to Cincy from. I got lucky with my work assignment, I get to report from the Serpentine Wall with Lisa Cooney, and I can’t wait to see what we find there. Everyone has a story [...]

Mission accomplished!…Daily… August 29, 2007

I’m adjusting to my new role as house husband now, with my wife back to work and conquering so many organizational hurdles that a teacher deals when the relocate and teach different grades. She’s got the long days now whereas I’m settled into my job. With our work schedules the way they are, [...]

One rough morning… August 28, 2007

This morning really threw me for a loop, and was a very tough one to get through. I normally have my alarm set for 2 or 2:10 am. I don’t know what it was that got me up this morning, but I remember looking over at the alarm clock and it said something [...]

A blast from the past August 27, 2007

Somehow we need to lobby for three day weekends. Two days just doesn’t seem to cut it, there’s no time for a big project and it seems like you can almost catch up on sleep with two days off, but not completely. This past weekend brought me enough time to enjoy, but I [...]

Sad sad story… August 24, 2007

It’s with great sadness that this blog entry gets typed out, the story about the dead two-year-old in Union Township hit home like a ton of bricks. My initial understanding of the story is that the mother forgot about her sleeping toddler in the car and went into work for several hours. She [...]

Record Breakers!!! August 23, 2007

No sense in doing something half way in my opinion…if it’s going to be hot, let’s break a record! Our extreme heat today and tomorrow is coming at a time when a couple of softballs stand atop the record podiums. Today’s record high is 97 set back in 1959 and Friday’s record high [...]

One hot August! August 21, 2007

Drought Update August 17, 2007

The drought status across the tri-state has been updated, and as many of you probably already know…it’s getting worse. We went from most of the area being in the moderate and just the rest being severe to most now in a severe drought with the rest moderate. The rainfall deficit for the year [...]

Big day in a little life! August 15, 2007

I was working distracted yesterday, thinking of something else while I was trying to get everything done here…yesterday was little Sophia’s first day of daycare. Yes, my wife has started working again after ten months of concentrating on Sophia and raising her at home. My wife and I looked around at daycares to [...]

Another awesome weekend! August 13, 2007

Todd Dykes and I were lucky enough to catch the IRL race at the Kentucky Motor Speedway on Saturday and that was quite the time! The open-wheel cars definitely go faster than the stock car do, no real surprise there but you can see the difference which makes it even more mind-boggling. The [...]
