Well it’s been a long hiatus for TPMHTDM, but I thought I’d brief you with a quick run-down on what’s up. In truly exciting news, we were over at my MILs house on Saturday when (because she is one of the lucky few with a Saturday Door Store) I got a heads up on a…

I got back on the saddle, so to speak, last night, riding my bike for the first time in quite awhile. I decided to take a different route yesterday, eschewing Madeira and riding down to the Little Miami Bike Trail. The total ride was about 11.8 miles, which was kind of long, and I finished…

That was a headline news the other day when I was watching one of the cable news networks about Hurricane Katrina. Have we really come to a point where anyone in the world can possibly care about this. I mean I care from the standpoint of them being general people, but really now. In other…

Okay, now that I am back from our nation’s capital, time for a final report on Super Double coupons last week. Since we were leaving on vacation on Thursday morning, I only got 3 days of shopping in, but I managed to squeeze in quite a bit. First of all, the things that I paid…

I thought I’d do a bit of a mid-week post, to update the masses on various things that are going on: Things are coming along nicely for our trip out to Washington. Carolyn, as I speak (well sort of), is writing down the list of stuff ta pack. I have begun preparations on my talk…

Well it was the first day of Super Double Coupons at Meijer. I went into work extra early today (and will probably continue to do so the rest of this week) so I could get stuff done and still have time for some shopping. It’s extra pressure since we’ll be leaving on Thursday, so I…

Well, Madeira is mine. I got up and went out about 7 a.m. to go ride my bike. I was going to do the longest of the 10 routes I had (about 15 miles) and then finish up with an 8 mile route on Monday to finish it off. But as I got started, I…

Thought I’d post a little update for the masses. Yes, I’m talking to you! Not much going on here lately. Things appear to be all falling in place for our trip to Washington next week. We’ve got the hotel, we’ve got folks lined up to watch the kiddoes. I am giving a talk at the…

Well Carolyn is off at yoga tonight, to which she goes just about every Thursday. The kiddoes are all in bed, and all but Amy appear to be asleep. Amy has this rather frustrating habit that she has recently picked up, where she wanders around her room and/or kicks the walls for 1-2 hours after…

Went out this morning for another bike ride. Not as many hills on this one, and I did pretty well. I have this one listed at 4.5 miles, and it took me 24:38 (8:14:00 to 8:38:38) which is 11.69 mph. I think that one of my distances must be wrong, because it definitely felt like…
