Those of you reading my site for gaming/computer stuff may want to turn away now. I haven't done this often, but here I go again... Another post about Atheism and such. Most Atheist writings talk about how Atheism can give one comfort during a crisis… more »

Her surgery went great! Got it done on schedule Friday morning, she stayed overnight in the hospital and then came home Saturday around noonish. Her first thought, in the hospital parking lot was "we don't have any O'banon, do we?" So it was off to D&… more »

I've got a pretty busy week, so it could be a slower posting week than usual! Mostly good, mostly fun, but definitely busy.Wednesday's my 15th wedding anniversary, so I'm off work and we've got a full day of fun stuff planned. Hard to believe it's… more »

That number up there, forty-five point three (45.3!) is how many miles we rode over Saturday and Sunday. That still may not seem like a huge total to any more serious riders that may be reading this, but again, keep in mind, we just this year were at a… more »

I haven't posted in several days, mainly because there isn't much worthy of posting about. I'm waiting on several shipments which comprise all the stuff I need to get the Helios in the air -- all that stuff will be here by Friday. Weather has been not-… more »

Got the 3DHS Slick in, took it over to The Shop(tm) and, well, it's nearly ready to maiden. The weather needs to cooperate. Thunderstorms and 20mph winds supposedly today, so that's Right Out. Tomorrow, maybe. Friday I've got something else scheduled… more »

This weekend we took my bike, a Trek 7.3 FX, into our awesome local bike shop, Hodson's Bay Company to get checked over and ready to ride. There's probably an old entry here on SoD from when we bought these bikes (she has a matching one); I believe… more »

We went to Indiana Beach yesterday, and rode some rides! Normally that wouldn't be a big deal for anyone living around here. But if you've been following this blog for a while, you know we're finally able to be able to do this. Sure, we could've gon… more »

I know I said I'd go into more details about the surgery, but there really isn't much to say! I was unconscious for all the interesting parts. ;) I showed up 2 hours ahead of the surgery time, as directed. They checked me in, then took me into a pri… more »

Well, my surgery's done, and it all went pretty much textbook. I'm back home and able to walk, only about 5 hours after surgery. Woot @ experienced doctors! I'll write more when I'm a little more coherent (pain meds, yay). more »

It ended up being 8 miles total (10 for her, since she'd already walked nearly 2 miles earlier that morning). After LBC, we decided to walk across the bridge into West Lafayette, and then up the hill to Greyhouse. That's another 1.2 miles on top of the… more »

We just walked from home to LBC. It's about 3 miles and we made it without a problem, something we could never have even thought about before!It feels good!Mobile Blogging from here.[Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone] more »

I'm having surgery. Yay. I have a hernia, just above my navel. I've had it for years, and had always planned to get it repaired "soon". It doesn't cause much of a problem most of the time, but occasionally there's some pain, and this last time it w… more »
