Lenore and I led a tour with the Model A Club
Hayward/Thomas Model A Covered Bridge Tour, October 12 2008
We couldn’t have asked for a better day for a drive. The morning started off a little cool, but the sun warmed us up nicely by midday. The fall colors had just come out, and we had plenty of opportunities to see them on the many tiny, [...]

Almost Got Hit By Lightning… In My Bedroom
Maybe living on top of a hill isn’t so great after all. Lenore, Vader and I were in the bedroom as a thunderstorm was rolling in last night. Lenore and I were in the bedroom getting ready to go to bed, and Vader was in there because he was freaking out that the thunderstorm was going [...]

Woke up late today at around 10:00. Listened to a little Within Temptation (metal band with a female lead singer) on YouTube. Took Lenore to work. Walked the dog. Had a light lunch consisting of a yogurt and some Ass-Kickin’ Snack Mix which says right on it that it is “Kick Yo Ass Hot!” And, [...]

Birds of Prey in the Neighborhood
One morning a few months ago, when I let my dog out, there was a hawk in my backyard eating a freshly killed pigeon. It was awesome. There was a big circle of feathers, and bright red blood in the snow. As Vader ran out to see what was going on the [...]

The White Rabbit Candy Project
Lenore and I went to the international grocery with our pal David Morrison. It was really fun. David is very much a food guy, so we stopped at the grocery on the way back from one of Dave’s many secret restaurant gems. This time it was a Vietnamese place called Sizzling Wok [...]

Hanging Out
My wife Lenore had some surgery last week (she’s ok) so I have been hanging out with her at home just letting her recuperate. Today I am with her at work being her teaching assistant since she is not able to lift anything heavier than 8 pounds for a month. She gets tired [...]

Life on the Road… an Over-Detailed Snapshot for the REALLY Curious
Yesterday, Vader (my dog) and I left Indianapolis around noon Eastern time. We stopped briefly at the library to get what turned out to be a boring audiobook. I’m actually still in the middle of listening to Dune by Frank Herbert (and it’s AWESOME!) but it’s on cassette and I wanted to take [...]

Barbeque
Lenore and I went to a really fun barbeque today. There was all the fun stuff that you could want, volleyball, badminton, boche ball, drinks, food, a potato cannon, and fireworks. But what really added to it is that Dave has a collection of tin wind-up toys from the 1950s (which was really [...]

Jay Gilligan
Jay Gilligan and his buddy Erik Aberg are going to pass through town on their very brief Shoebox Tour on May 26th. Lenore has been helping me hook up a space for them to perform at Herron School of Art, and the show is going to be incredible. Now I just have to do some [...]

Art Chicago
At the last minute Lenore and packed up the car, put the dog in the back seat, and headed up to Chicago on Thursday. It had been her plan all along to be there, but there were a whole series of problems with the show this year. The main one being that it [...]
