As usual yesterday, New Year's Eve, was my longest day of work of the year. Our Library is one of the 18 or so venues for downtown Akron's New Year's Eve celebration. We host three entertainment stages, roving entertainers and several interactive activities from 5 – 11:30 pm. I work my regular shift during the…

my 36th birthday
We celebrated by birthday last night at Bricco in downtown Akron with a small group of friends. It was a really fun evening. Major props go to Greg for surprising me with my gift this year. You see, I'm a bit of a snoop. Greg devised an elaborate scheme that the C.I.A. would be proud…
i heart the following things
and always #1…the Gregster. friends and family. cheese. All kinds of cheese. keane's new album Perfect Symmetry. It's a little different from their last albums, but I'm quite enjoying it. I don't think there's a single stinker track on it. My favorites include Better Than This, You Don't See Me, and Pretend That You're Alone….
i'm on vacation
Finally, some time away from work. I've been working a lot of six day weeks and full weekends lately. I now have a little extra help at work, so I feel comfortable taking a couple of days off around this week's holiday. On Wednesday, we're heading south to Galax, Virginia near Fancy Gap to a…
you are either with us, or you are against us
So maybe I need to be done with this whole Facebook thing. I was reading through some comments today at lunch and found this precious nugget written by a “friend” from my hometown:(side note, I added the (Obama). Everything else, mistakes and all, are her words.) “Well anyone that says he (Obama) has brought us…
the sun has not yet risen
It's six a.m. on my one day off this week. And I'm awake…wide awake. No going back to sleep for this guy. I had a weird dream last night. I was Barack Obama and it was election night. They called the election, way early, at 9:00 p.m. for me. I kicked John McCain's ass. Landslide,…
greg's day
After Greg got his hair cut this morning we headed over to the Munroe Falls Metropark. It's one of our favorite places to visit in the fall. We snapped quite a few pictures including the new banner at the top of my site. Below are some more pictures. It was a beautiful and crisp morning….
psst…I have the next three days off…
That's right after working seven straight days, four of them late shifts, I'm off for a three-day weekend. What's a boy to do with all that time? Here's my plan: Friday is Mike Day. If I want to do nothing, I'll do nothing. It's all up to me. I'm in charge of my own day….
ear ticklers: an update
There are five great new songs that I love over there in the Pandora box on the left side of my web site. Give them a listen and tell me what you think. Props to Greg for the Rock and Roll recommendation.
sunday morning | 7:27 am
I’ve decided to begin a new photo project. Each morning, for a month, I will take a photograph and post it here on the blog. The inaugural shot is of scrambled eggs. Greg is still on soft foods following his wisdom teeth extraction. He’s feeling well and has been a great patient. I’m just sorry…
