Moose and Ink

It was an abnormally warm February day. The cats approved. Continue reading

A lot later than I would have liked but Imgur was being a jerk. Finally I gave up and just linked things off of Dropbox. The summary of our trip : We headed down South Kaibab Trail (~7 miles) to the Bright Angel Campground at the bottom. We spent two nights down there and used Continue reading

  This was supposed to be a nice long post about our recent vacation to the Grand Canyon, complete with pictures and other neat stuff. Unfortunately, a major problem with our ISP has resulted in the speeds at home being so slow that it’s near impossible to upload the pictures. Thus, I got nothing. But Continue reading

When asked ‘How is the writing going?’, this has been the best response I’ve had so far:     Continue reading

Say hello to Indy. Our local humane society had an outbreak of ringworm, necessitating the need for a number of cats to be sent to shelter homes for recovery or to avoid catching the stuff in the first place.

The phrase “It’s only a draft, it’s allowed to suck’ really doesn’t fly when that draft is coming through your office window and it’s -6 outside. It’s been incredibly cold up here in NE Iowa. Yesterday was something around a high of -9 with wind chills in the -40s. It made walking to work quite Continue reading

Welp, there I go again. Not updating for an extremely long time. At least I have been remarkably consistent in my inconsistency. As December rolls around, I’m hoping that 2016 will be a better time for blogging and updates. I am finding myself missing the blog and just in general writing about whatever I want to Continue reading
