A Talkin' Donkey: RaisingCayne's Random Ramblings: July 2008
http://atalkindonkey.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
A Talkin' Donkey: RaisingCayne's Random Ramblings. Tuesday, July 8, 2008. As Schaubs so diligently pointed out, this is NOT my 50th post! Rather just lowly no. 39! Evidently this dumbass author decided to count the 11 'saved' ramblings that never made their way onto the site as blog posts. Hmm. Cayne having problems with prematurely completing celebrations. hmmm. weird! Was sent a link to a video that put me in a good mood the other day. If you have a few minutes, and need a smile, check it out. Still do...

http://atalkindonkey.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
A Talkin' Donkey: RaisingCayne's Random Ramblings. Friday, October 17, 2008. So yesterday afternoon I got a text message from Matt. Inviting me to join him at a local casino's weekly Thursday evening deepstack poker tournament. Being intrigued, I promptly inquire with the roommate. About his interest, and we quickly decide that we're down to take part. Call Matt. Well, fast forward a few hours, and . I won! Took down 1st place out of 29 entrants for a $615 score on the $60 buy-in! An angry earful about h...

A Talkin' Donkey: RaisingCayne's Random Ramblings. Thursday, March 27, 2008. With the intent of keeping this post under a novel's length, I'm going to attempt to provide a trip report via summary format. So below is a rough outline of the last few weeks in the life of RaisingCayne:. We promptly pick up two rented minivans and hit the road to Lake Havasu. Arrive at destination hotel around midnight. (Note: playing designated driver, while on vacation with a rowdy group of drunks, sucks! In what will likel...

A Talkin' Donkey: RaisingCayne's Random Ramblings: February 2008

A Talkin' Donkey: RaisingCayne's Random Ramblings. Wednesday, February 13, 2008. Like my arrival at most social functions, I'm also fashionably late in posting a little recap of last weekend's fesitivities. If you haven't already read a recap from one the guests in attendance, there was a small gathering of Pacific NorthWest bloggers at my humble abode last Saturday evening. In attendance was myself. My good friend Andre (non-blogger, but owner of a real nice poker table,) Mrs. Chako. Even has some pictu...

The NL Wife - Mrs. Chako's Side of the Story: Change - The New Norm
http://thewife-herside.blogspot.com/2011/05/change-new-norm.html
The NL Wife - Mrs. Chako's Side of the Story. Monday, May 9, 2011. Change - The New Norm. It's been in process long enough, and I've tried to keep in under wraps. Mostly because I'm a pessimistic optimist - anything is possible, just don't count your chickens out loud until they hatch and are running around under the heat lamps chirping. Those who know me less well are still processing my motivations. One reaction was "why would she want a different job"? The words of someone who derives their satisfacti...

The NL Wife - Mrs. Chako's Side of the Story: Family Pride
http://thewife-herside.blogspot.com/2011/05/family-pride.html
The NL Wife - Mrs. Chako's Side of the Story. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. I thought about being all wordy about this one, but I thought I'd do it in pictures, instead. Really proud of my "extended family" . . . hopefully you can see the love . . . Our third au pair - Cheisi - a beautiful bride with her American "mother"! Cheisi with our current au pair, Lisa, and all of our boys, including my "de facto" son Roberto - Son #1's best friend. Love to see all of the connections we've created in life come together.

The NL Wife - Mrs. Chako's Side of the Story: A Wedding a Month and Other Things

The NL Wife - Mrs. Chako's Side of the Story. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. A Wedding a Month and Other Things. Seems like when push comes to shove in the time department, this blog takes a back seat more often than not. It's a blessing and a curse. A steep learning curve, drinking from the fire hose, and a lot of responsibility. But the paychecks are bigger, the visibility is bigger, and its one more step on a ladder I feel like climbing. Now to just do a good job. :). Miss you all - but still love you. For w...

The NL Wife - Mrs. Chako's Side of the Story. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder? Well, at least she’s hoping so. I saw her face light up a bit when she got a message from Lightning. How could I resist? She needed to spice things up a bit anyway. I mean, seriously, when is the last time she put up a panty post? Or anything raunchy, for that matter? Looking dapper in a tux (even if he forgot his cufflinks and had to detour to get new ones before the dinner). Ogled by rich bus...
