Runs with knives!
I was mildly surprised to receive a bill from UC today. With a midly “how bad can it be?” attitiude, I opened it to discover yet another bill. This time, from UC. Apparently, UC’s tuition benefit is only 6 hours per quarter, and I’d registered…
Wendy came home this evening with a specific craving — "Pizza, and not from the freezer", so we decided to stop at LaRosa’s for some carry-out and to use our two-for-one coupon. She got a Super Crust Pepperoni & Sausage, and I got a thin…
To celebrate the release of OHIO, their new double-CD release on Backporch Records, Over the Rhine did an in-store at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Hyde Park this afternoon.
They played a few songs — the ones I can recall off the top of my head were Fever, Hometown Boy, Suitcase, Show Me, Ohio, The Seahorse, and certainly a couple others I’m forgetting — and chatted a bit about the new release before signing autographs for the large assembled crowd.
It was nice to see so many people at the in-store. The place was fairly crowded, and I felt fortunate to have a nice bench close to the band. I saw Dan T., Margarita, Debbie, and Bruce, but the rest of the folks were new faces, which makes me happy because OTR is getting some long-overdue new blood in their crowds.
The new CD is quite good. Do check it out!
Tonight we went to one of Wendy’s nurses, Mike, and her husband Greg’s lovely home for a pool party. Wendy has known Mike & Greg for a long time through equestrian pursuits (Wendy’s horse lives at Mike’s barn), and in October 2002, Mike began working…
So, I get another envelope from CSTCC. With trembling fingers, I opened it to find a schedule — showing me registered for both classes (YEAH!), and a balance on my account. A balance of more than $300. While unwelcome (who wants to spent $300?!), it…
On Sunday, August 24, 2003, Wendy & I went diving at Natural Springs Resort in New Paris, Ohio.
This was a significant event for two reasons. First, it was the first time Wendy & I dove alone, and secondly, it was the first time we got to use our new dive computers.
We had a blast, and completed two short dives (the tanks we rented were pretty small) over to the rock wall on the far side of the lake. Visability was good; when we were 20 feet down, you could look up the rock wall and see it extend above the waterline (which is a very cool view).
