The Alley Behind Me is Loud

When the Advisor is in Italy you….come on this is an easy one! Work at home of course (our office is right on an alley across from the back door of a market…*lots* of deliveries….lots of noise). Not that there is any difference with him there or in Bloomington…but still. And apparently they do have [...]

Worldly Collaboration

HELLO….Lazy!!!

Wow. I didn’t do much of anything this past weekend. The two previous weekends had been filled with traveling and it’s hard with our weekly schedule the way it is to not have a chance to refill our tanks. We more than made up for that with this past weekend.

And I have to say…it was [...]

9 easy miles

Yesterday nothing interesting happened besides running. You know what this means, don’t you? I have to write about running. On a running blog. Crazy.

After another ordinary day at work, we were going to swing over to Mike and Barb’s to partake in a little running fun. We were slated for [...]

Situation resolved

Thanks for those who commented on my previous post. I’ve spoken with the author of the blog post that bothered me and the situation is resolved. To remove any such words from the internet-o-sphere, I’ve gone ahead and deleted the old post. Should anyone have linked to that post or the post [...]

Surprise Surprise!!!

We had a fun mother’s day weekend going to Fort Wayne and surprising Jason’s mom. We had been in conversation with Jason’s dad, Walt, and had planned on his mom, Beverly, being home between 3 and 4 pm on Saturday afternoon. We got to The Fort at about 3:15 and no one was home, so [...]
