Hard to realize that it has already been 8 years. Sept. 12, 2009 we went to Wayside Waifs and adopted Rocky (called Devito at Wayside, after Danny Devito, because of our dog's short legs). Here are the pictures when he first came home. We were warned we couldn't leave him out in a back yard, … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #122: Rocky

Technology Day
Today has been a technology day. At this point it has ended on a positive note, though it didn't begin there. I woke up, took the dog for a walk with the bicycle, and then came back to check my e-mail. I needed to print a document so I could sign, scan and return it. … Continue reading Technology Day
A Blast of the Past #121: Hannibal
For living in Missouri, we haven't seen the sites of the state very often. I've never stopped for the sights of Saint Louis. But we have managed sections of Hannibal -- we enjoy passing through Hannibal more than St. Louis on our way east-west across the state. Here are the pictures from our 2009 stop … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #121: Hannibal
A Blast of the Past #120: Michigan
Our trip took us through Michigan, where we had our first visit to Michigan's Adventure. We also had fun camping, visiting Betsy's Uncle Jack and Aunt Marian, and seeing Lake Michigan. We didn't get any pictures at the park, but at Lake Michigan we got pictures of our kids wearing their Keuka Lake shirts from … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #120: Michigan
A Blast of the Past #119: Geauga Lake
Of all the Cedar Fair Parks we have visited, Geauga Lake probably has the sweetest spot in our hearts. It no longer exists as a park, but in our two visits there, it always seemed a special water park, and we always seemed like we got special VIP treatment when there. Perhaps it was because … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #119: Geauga Lake
The Winds of Change
Sometimes the winds of change come as a subtle breeze. Sometimes they come as a 60-MPH shear. Saturday was the latter. Betsy and I were at Worlds of Fun picking for an outing and some supper. The weather had been showing some thunder on the way, but the rain hadn't started when we were walking into the … Continue reading The Winds of Change
A Blast of the Past #118: Jellystone
Part of our 2009 trip took us camping at a Jellystone Campground near Geauga Lake in Ohio. Here are a few pictures where we met the Jellystone characters after an evening stage show:

Worlds of Fun: Park Denizens converse
Today's post is about something that happened a week ago at Worlds of Fun. I went in the evening to grab supper and some entertainment, while avoiding the excessive, for me, atmosphere of the Halloween Haunt's Overlord's Awakening. The current trick is to drive in through the secondary entrance -- the Oceans of Fun parking … Continue reading Worlds of Fun: Park Denizens converse
A Blast of the Past #116: TTBHS 25th reunion
One of the main focuses of the summer trip in 2009 was my 25th high school reunion. So here are some pictures from Twin Tiers Baptist High School -- from 8 years ago.
