I don’t know if this really happened, but I know that it is true. It’s a wonderful thing to feel at home in a place you have never lived at which you have never spent more than 7 consecutive days. Granted, this is my FIFTH year spending 7 days in Santa Fe at St. John’s …

Our Morning with Patti
At 3:40am Pat pulled into our driveway, I tried to pick up my mug of coffee, and Sherry bounced into the driver’s seat. We then proceeded, like crazed teenagers, to drive two hours to Cleveland to watch the production of the CBS Early Show. No, we weren’t really all that excited to get seen on …
14th with the Indians
So, Tuesday, Sherry and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. (Yeah, us!) We celebrated by attending back to back Cleveland Indians games. Before the eyes roll back in various heads, it must be understood that going to ball games and following the Indians has been one of those “couple” things that we do. Sherry loves …
PLEASE, oh PLEASE
Don’t talk to me the least little bit about the final installment of Monsieur Harry Potter. Being somewhat snobbish on the issue, I’ve ordered mine from the UK, so I probably won’t receive it until next week, but then I’m leaving for the Glen. And Sherry and I like to read them together aloud. Until …
Dinosaur Tour: Bob Dylan and The Police
The latest edition of PASTE magazine features a review of a The Police reunion show that turns into an essay on the entire “reunion” tour culture. Oddly, Bob Dylan ends up in the sweep of the essay. I say oddly first because Dylan is not actually reuniting with anyone. Secondly, I find it odd that …
Just What Exactly Is The Temp?
One of the difficulties of living on the edge of nowhere is that it is something of a challenge finding out what the actual temperature outside is. Sure, I can go outside today and say, “It’s hot.” But how hot? My personal digital thermometer says it was 100 degrees here in Tiffin. However, checking various …
Feteing the Trumpet Child
Last night had a group of friends over to hear the webcast of Over The Rhine‘s upcoming release, The Trumpet Child. Most of the folks there hadn’t heard of OTR, so it was a nice intro. Mainly, though, it was a great excuse to get some folks together, have some good food, tell stories, and …
T6: American Pale Ale: The Plan
I’d purchased this ingredient kit when I thought I’d be able to reuse the yeast from T5. However, one must roll with the punches. Inspired by the difficulties of the last batch, I picked up some new equipment that I am keen to try out. Namely, an aerator, a stick-on thermometer, an auto-siphon, and a …
T5: Limping Dog Pale Ale
My fifth batch of homebrew turned into something of an Odyssey: what should have been a short two-week proceeding stretched out into two months of bother. What follows is something of a journal of that odyssey. 5/3 What with the Grand Cru and Porter in the cellar, I think I need something normal-ish, so I …
Vienna Park Open
Subtitle: What did I do to cheese off the Disc Golf Gods? I last played at Vienna Park in Temperance, MI when the Morefields visited us shortly after we moved to Tiffin. Returning, I appreciate it as a nice, little course, but I also understand why I haven’t made the effort to go back: way …
