For several months now, there’s been a very irritating poster near the door at work. It was created by the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce to promote pedestrian safety. Every day it takes all my restraint not to provide a scathing commentary on it with a magic marker. It reads: There are many ways to […]

Indianapolis trip and new Evan photos
On a happier subject, we took a trip to Indianapolis last weekend. On saturday we took Evan to the zoo, which turned out to not be a very good plan. He mostly just wanted to get down and run around, which he couldn’t do. He started having a good time when we took him to […]
Very sad kitty news

Camping at Starved Rock
Well, now that it’s the weekend again, I figure it’s about time I blogged about last weekend’s camping trip. We went with the Great Lakes Popup Club to Starved Rock State Park. The weather couldn’t have been better. The park didn’t fill up entirely (which is rare), but quite a few club members made the […]
New photos of Evan posted
We put up some more photos of Evan this evening. The last update we made was in early March, so months 12 and 13 are new. Man, we need to update more often…

Photo album now allows commenting on pictures
One of my projects is a WordPress plug-in called Lazy-K Gallery, which runs the photo album on this site. I just released a new version, and now you can comment on each photo in my gallery. Maybe one of these days I’ll get around to adding some more photos.
