This is one of a few pictures I was able to take of Katherine with Rebecca during our first visit to Huntington Beach with her.
We spent a bit of time on the beach so that she could experience the sand and the surf for the first time.
I didn’t make it to the Pacific [...]

The stick figure in this sign posted by an elevator looks less than human.

A few months back, I found this funny old photo while scanning family pics. In the photo left to right are David, Michael and myself. I don’t know what was in the box, though I am fairly confident it wasn’t diapers. Also, I have no idea why we appear to be strutting like we are [...]

Rebecca, Katherine and I met up with some friends at the Columbus Zoo yesterday.  It was my first time there this year and I hadn’t seen the new Polar Bear exhibit yet.  It is a decent exhibit that has an underwater viewing area that gets really crowded when the bears jump in and try to [...]

I recently attended my grandfather’s estate sale around Rushsylvania in Logan County Ohio.  While walking to Grandma’s house from where we parked, we noticed this Amish horse and buggy tied to a tree in Grandpa’s walnut tree woods.
So much about this picture evokes the notion of a simple life.   It is peaceful, quiet and [...]

I had a wonderful Father’s day thanks to Rebecca and Katherine.  Katherine stirred from her sleep this afternoon and allowed me to rock her to sleep. She hasn’t let me be the comforter in quite a while so this was nice. There isn’t anything that can compare to looking down at your child while they [...]

If you are looking for better or more frequent communication, I think I found where to begin the search.

Last week, we drove to Charleston, SC for a wedding. We didn’t get to spend a lot of time touring downtown and tour but had a few hours to explore. We started out around Vendue and Concord and walked to the Battery via Church Street. We then came back via East Bay . I [...]

After my Grandpa Jacobs died in 2008, my family started going through a lot of old family stuff.  There were old brochures for world’s fairs that were funny to look at in retrospect and there was also a pamphlet about some proposal called Inlandia. I don’t have that pamphlet, but as it was described to [...]

I guess the answer to that question depends on how far you look back.  If we allow photos to tell a tale, then this one suggests that perhaps I would be an Ohio State Football player with a penchant for sewing. Obviously this would be to mend my own jersey because I am a bruiser.
This [...]
