Ah, Thanksgiving. A time to gather with loved ones and give thanks. And a time rich with family traditions. Breaking the wish bone. Watching football. And our family’s favorite, intensely competitive board games, culminating in a life-or-death game of Pictionary. The gameplay is so intense that you truly have to experience it in order to […]
We were recently invited to our friends Robert and Georgia’s daughter’s 9th birthday party at the “Inflatable Party Zone” Pump It Up. And, might I add, it was quite possibly the raddest party ever. Since we more closely match the “parent” group vs. the “children under 12″ group, we got to play for free […]
Election day is here, so if you haven’t already done so, go vote. You can find your local polling place with some easy help from Google.
One of my favorite election season traditions is the Presidential Cookie Poll by Cincinnati’s very own Busken Bakery. It began in 1984, and has continued with every Presidential Election […]
For those who have never ridden the Metra let me give you the scoop. Cranky old business people with a pissy attitude toward life. That being said, they pretty much suck the joy out of a potentially cool sitation. The train could be the raddest thing ever. The problem is people […]
Last night, our neighborhood had trick or treat (this was the first time in my life I’ve ever had a trick or treater!) followed by a costume parade and Halloween party in the town square. Did I mention we live in Pleasantville? Being new to the neighborhood, Liz and I decided to get costumed up […]
Let’s just cut this one to the chase, cause there’s so much to say…
Unbeknownst to me, Logan scored some pretty hot last-minute tickets to a very special show. Knowing our great lady crush and that we had been planning an O road trip for the last 6 years, he called up Big D and Dave, and […]
A friend of ours recently invited us to join them and their kids on an outing to Six Flags Great America. Apparently, the secret hasn’t gotten out that the park isn’t terribly crowded on the Fourth of July and that the lines are pretty short of most of the rides. Until now.
I’ve never really been […]
One of my favorite blogs on the Internet is Stuff White People Like. A witty collection of entries centered around the pretentious possessions and personal beliefs that make us positively Caucasian. And I never really stopped to think about how white I truly am, until I assessed my surroundings tonight. Let’s take a look.
For Father’s […]
Recently, I had my first interaction with the Nintendo Wii.
It took me a long time to overcome my fears and anxiety about playing, especially in front of others. I was intimidated by the Wii’s advanced features and innovative approach to the game controls. I’ve always been the old school NES down, right, left, right, A, […]
The blur is likely due to excessive speed and the camera’s inability to capture the motion.
The best part only good thing about the air cast boot gimmick is that I’m supposed to stay off of my feet. And after refusing Liz’s repeated recommendations to use the motorized wheelchair cart at retailers, I finally caved and […]
