Risk as a downhill ski run, Bode Miller style

February 22, 2010

I was reading my Wall Street Journal today, page after page of blah, blah, blah and then I came across this story on page B8. It stopped me dead in my tracks.

I am not following the Winter Olympic Games nor am I really a fan of Bode Miller. I didn’t even read the article, but [...]

You are not lost, you are here and you know where here is, right?

February 1, 2010

You are reading DogWalkBlog.com, produced and written in Dayton, Ohio. We are talking with Rufus, one of the key writers of the blog where he reminds us why you, time and place are important for blog credibility and reader orienteering.
I was reading a blog from a linked tweet this morning and halfway through it, my [...]

Mural Progress June 30, 2009

June 30, 2009

The Englewood city workers are not part of the painting, but since they usually move at a glacial pace, who would really know? The mural probably should have road construction painted into it as that is the way most of us see Main and Union day to day anyway. That, or an auto accident.

Listen to the groundhog

March 2, 2009

I love Groundhog’s Day. It is a silly holiday that you can just hype up and people giggle at.
When reading a post from Chris Brogan today, along with my Wall Street Journal, The Waterboy and a healthy dose of Morning Joe, I’ve come to a conclusion about this economic mess. The economy prognosticators have [...]

I know nothing, but let me tell you about it anyway

January 7, 2009

Few things make me more upset than “journalists” who have no knowledge of the facts of a story, write about it or get on television, answering phantom questions about hypoteticals. Then the anchor or host treats their answers like they relate to the story at hand. Then they guide the reader or listener through [...]

Some things I know

December 20, 2008

I just got done speaking with an American Express rep to pay my bill. I had to call them because I missed the bill pay window between 3:00-7:00am where their web site will actually work to pay my bill.
It got to think about stuff I “know” to be true, even though other dogs swear they [...]

My office in Englewood Ohio.

The Wasilla City Hall

Northmont hires a leader?

July 3, 2008

I was reading the Englewood Independent yesterday and a sidebar article caught my eye. Northmont has hired a new superintendent, Douglas Lantz, formerly the superintendent from Franklin City Schools. Great! New blood, fresh leadership, a focus on building the human infrastructure of tomorrow…
But, then I get to Linda Blum’s quote. For the people who have [...]

Memorial Day

May 22, 2008

As I was lifting my leg to bless the Englewood Independent lying on my doorstep this morning, the front page article caught my eye. So, I bent down to read it before soaking it. The main headline read “Memorial Day: Remembering those who preserve freedom.”
It was a good article about Air Force Capt. Bob Everdeen [...]

Our May 10 Mombos walk

May 11, 2008

Yesterday night, we went for a walk to Mombos and McDonalds and I thought it would be a really cool thing to document the walk with photos. Well, I learned a few things:

A camera phone is not a camera
Bring lots of crap bags (ok, this may have been a one-time thing)
Pay attention to things going [...]

My buddy Kevin

May 9, 2008

This is Kevin. He is there every morning as we go through the Englewood Tim Horton’s drive-through window. He knows who I am, he knows I like two honey-dipped Tim Bits with my decaf coffee and he is always cheerful. I don’t know if he likes his job, what he does on his day off [...]

It’s a crappy job, but…

May 5, 2008

Ok, I live with some really cheap people. They re-use the plastic bags they get from trips to the store. So, I thought I would rank the bags in order of quality and fitness for “the job.”
#1 TARGET: This is not only a really cool place to shop, but their small plastic bags are excellent [...]

I got no leash on me

April 28, 2008

I run with this one dog who loves to walk. When his owner grabs the leash, he jumps up and down, gets all excited about going for a walk.
He gets the leash clipped on his collar and he pulls on the lease the entire way. But, when his owner lets go of the lease [...]

Friday mornings and Rumpke always get me high…

April 11, 2008

High blood pressure, that is. I have found that my Friday morning walks consist of picking up bits of trash strewn about by the careless, lazy and stupid monkeys working for Rumpke. I know that you probably have unreasonable trash pickup quotas to meet, but the goal is to get the garbage IN THE TRUCK, [...]

Decent folks working for the City of Englewood

December 5, 2007

A shout-out “thank you” to the plow truck driver who was working Brookwood Dr. today at 1:15 or so. I was just a few seconds late pulling out of a parking space and he went back up, turned around and cleaned up the street. He didn’t have to, but he did. Thank you.

Autumn at Tim’s

November 16, 2007

We were eating the Tim Bits outside the Tim Hortons yesterday and this amazingly bright orange tree was right outside Rufus’ window. The photo does not do it justice and it has probably dropped all its leaves by now, but here it is.
Fall in Englewood, Ohio. Enjoy.
