2000 miles and counting

This picture was taken yesterday, about 5 miles south of town. It’s the odometer on my Trek 1000 road bike, crossing over 2000 miles. I bought the bike about a year plus 2 weeks ago, so basically I’ve ridden 2000 miles in just a bit over a year.

A little more on Corned Beef and Cabbage

There was some concern here as to whether my assertion that Corned Beef and Cabbase is not traditional Irish fare, but rather and Irish-American dish. Here’s the story:
The Irish cuisine most closely related is bacon and cabbage – a traditional Irish easter meal in which a salted bacon joint would be boiled with cabbage [...]

St. Paddy’s day food fest

Today is St. Patrick’s day, and I cooked a “traditional” Irish dinner. OK, not really – I cooked traditional Americanized Irish food. Still, it was very good, and our dinner guests enjoyed it as much as we did.
It was actually a bit difficult to come up with a menu of Irish-esque food for [...]

Why Would They do That?

The following is an ad that I received by snail-mail last year. I was going through my files and found this. I put it away thinking I would do “something” with it “some” day. Today is apparently that day.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post on this blog.  Thankfully, Marcia’s picture quizzes have kept it alive while I’ve been “away.”
I haven’t really been physically absent, I’ve just been in crazy finish-the-product-and-get-it-out-the-door mode for the last 3 weeks, finishing up a new version of the software that I write.  I finally finished [...]

Our Belated Honeymoon Notable Pictures

That was our first night.
The next day we went to Union Station to watch the Fudgery Show. Amazingly we escaped the mall with little money spent, we did buy a really cool tie for Jacob.
Day three we went to the Science Center and unfortunately for us, most of the cool things were closed for repairs/remodeling. [...]

Isn’t She Adorable

Her mommy and daddy need to teach her about flipping off the camera before she gets older. I love you Ronda and Matt. We thought that was a great shot. Here is the picture.
I love you Geneva!
