We always joke that Crackers could be a super-dog-model. She's got that "it" factor!

The broadcast channel my wife likes to watch is out of the quad cities so we see a lot of Iowa political ads. I didn't really have an opinion on Rob Sand before but this attack ad makes him v relatable to me.

Courtney bought a little espresso machine but our previous coffee nook was too small to fit it so I ordered this blue kitchen cart to be our new coffee station.

Courtney got a much better picture of the birthday girl in her party hat.

I bought a used bike last week. I already own a 1973 Schwinn Suburban that I love but it's so old and heavy that it's not the easiest bike to ride. This one is nothing fancy. It's a 2014(?) Raleigh Venture 3.0 that's just a lot easier to ride.

Our town finally finished the Riverwalk section under the bridge and connected the two riverside parks so now we don't have to cross a busy intersection to do our walk along the river.

We bought these serigraphs by a late artist named John Mosiman last weekend at a garage sale for $10 without the frames. Bought the frames after. Now we just have to decide where to hang them. I dig 'em.

Courtney and I both enjoy cooking and, IMHO, are both pretty good at it. I can't think of any single thing that has had as noticeable an impact on our dinners as buying nicer peppercorns than we used to buy. Anybody have recs for even better pepper? I'm all ears.

We went across the Mississippi River to Clinton, Iowa to do some troll hunting.

Crackers is the master of the over the shoulder look-back smile.

Beautiful day here in the Midwest. Dogs enjoyed a nice hour+ walk that involved crossing the Rock River twice.

I grew up going to Bob's Big Boy and it wasn't until I met Courtney, whose first job was at a Big Boy in Michigan, that I learned that they're not all Bob's. A lot of them are just Big Boy. Still doesn't sit right with me.

Drove by a blonde Big Boy today.

Courtney asked for this rose with gold painted on the outside that she saw at Kroger. I bought it and some additional babies breath. Her real Valentine's Day gift is the vase though. Her family is Polish. She loves Polish pottery so I bought her this hand-painted Polish pottery vase.

We occasionally call Crackers "Crack-a-lacker-dinger-donger" and Goldfish "Goldie-Fawnie" but I mostly use their real names because they're awesome names.

We just bought this signed numbered hand colored etching at a consignment store. We saw it on Wednesday and Courtney really wanted it. We decided this morning to pull the trigger on it. I think it's pretty cool.

Backyard Midwest winter sunset. 2025. Yes, I took this through the glass of the back door. I'm not going out there if I don't have to!

I had to work late so we missed the protest in our town. We drove 45 minutes away to one with a later start time. Figured it doesn't matter where so much.

For a second, I fully expected the missing part after the first ellipsis to be "ng of the juggalos."

About halfway through a cross country road trip with Courtney and the pups to visit my mom and step dad. 2000+ miles down, 2000+ miles to go.
