  • 2023 Week 12 – Birthday Weekend!

    I’m not one to make a fuss about turning a year older, but I know people who are! This year my birthday fell on a Friday & after a super busy first quarter, I decided it was time to take a day off and enjoy a long weekend with family and friends. We hit up…

  • 2023 Week 5 – Peek-a-Boo!

    2023 Week 5 – Peek-a-Boo!

    Pretty quiet week if you don’t count the Chinese “weather” balloon that made its way across the continental U.S. It’s reported that the balloon had some remote control abilities and happened to float over some sensitive military installations. After clearing the eastern seaboard, a U.S. fighter jet shot down the balloon off the coast of…

  • 2022 Week 31 – Fumble!

    2022 Week 31 – Fumble!

    This last weekend I took another trip down to Cincinnati to celebrate my father’s birthday. It was the first time in over 20 years that I didn’t have my trusty Timbuk2 bag in the back of the car with all my work equipment, “just in case.” You get used to being on-call, and sometimes, I…

  • 2022 Week 18 – Cincy Wine Region?

    2022 Week 18 – Cincy Wine Region?

    Shorter post this week as I have a lot going on these days. I’m planning a trip to Toronto in the next couple of months and the Canadian entry requirements seem to be a moving target. As of last week, Canada now requires you to get pre-approved with an app called ArriveCAN. Hopefully, nothing else…

  • 2022 Week 13 – Can I Put My Coat Away Yet?

    2022 Week 13 – Can I Put My Coat Away Yet?

    Last week it was 73 and Sunny on Monday, and 45 and rain on Thursday. So I think the coats need to be kept handy for the next few weeks, especially with you see what’s coming up this week. Just got back from a visit to see family in Cincinnatti and visited a new BBQ…

  • 2021 Week 47 – Sausage Party

    2021 Week 47 – Sausage Party

    I took a quick trip down to Cincinnati to visit family, and I had to make a stop at Findlay Market on the way home. Findlay Market is located in the city’s heart in an area known as “Over the Rhine” (OTR). As expected, it was pretty busy on Saturday, especially the Saturday before Thanksgiving.…

    2021 Week 26 – Celebrate the Dads

    I hope everyone had a great Father’s Day last weekend. I took my son down to Cincinnati to have a cookout at my dads house. While there we stopped by the Tri-State Warbirds Museum to check out some amazing aircraft, all of which are airworthy and regularly see flight time. Of course it’s Not a…

  • Cincinnati Photo Walk – October 2013

    Cincinnati Photo Walk – October 2013

    I had one of those rare occasions where I could hop in the car and disappear for the day and visit my family in Cincinnati.  Met up with my Sister for a local’s tour of the regentrification project occurring in Over The Rhine (OTR).  Local’s always give the best tours and like to share what they…

  • Cincinnati – Hofbräuhaus Newport

    Cincinnati – Hofbräuhaus Newport

    On a recent visit to the Queen City my daughter and I decided to have a late lunch at the Hofbräuhaus in Newport Kentucky.  This place is a German Style beer hall complete with the traditional “Oom-pah Band” and can get quote crowded in the warmer months.  Good thing they have a big Bier Garden…
