We Live Here…
May 16, 2006
Tuesday, May 16, 2006 Yikes…Zy’s still months away from arriving and we’re already getting infrequent with the updates. Bad me. See that photo above? Nope – it ain’t from your friendly tourism board or some website, Mabel took that one during our recent (well, April 29-30, so semi-recent I suppose) visit to Yosemite. Pardon the
About Stinkin’ Time!
April 28, 2006
Friday, April 28, 2006 Ok…I’m going to take the easy way out and claim that the news of Zy’s impending arrival has taken up my time and thereby prevented this update. Truth is, well – yeah lots of time has been allocated to preparing the house for the new arrival. So, in the time-honored
Who is Zy?
April 7, 2006
April 7, 2006 Hi there! Am I Zy? Well…in a manner of speaking we were all once Zy. Being Zy is both temporary and fleeting but also eternal…cyclical, if you will. You can’t meet me quite yet – but soon enough I’ll become an enduring presence in your life. More questions than answers for now,
Once Again…
April 2, 2006
Sunday, April 2, 2006 Not that you guys would have any way of knowing this, but this is actually the third time I’m writing something up for this entry. The first attempt? Well, I was on one system and in the proverbial groove when I realized that I was editing an outdated version of the
Journey to Big Sur
March 18, 2006
Saturday, March 18, 2006 After having a BLAST at the Keith Code school at Laguna Seca on Monday (waiting to get some images so I can post up THAT story) there was a week of rainy and cold days on tap. Mabel and I saw a nice townhouse on Thursday and in light of the
Sometimes you just gotta chill
March 8, 2006
Wednesday, March 8, 2006 In the space of the last week, both our little nieces have gotten sick, with one spending a few days in the hospital. There’s nothing that can make you feel quite so helpless as knowing a loved one, let alone a little baby, is sick and you can’t do a thing
Ups and Downs…
March 2, 2006
Thursday, March 2, 2006 Ups: • A good ride in the mountains, by the ocean • Watching American Idol with Mabel on the couch • A tasty burrito • Playing with the cat Downs: • Being far from our sick little nieces • Missing family and friends • Rainy and wet weather • Tripping over
A belated thank you…
February 27, 2006
Monday, February 27, 2006 My little ruminations tend to be about recent days or observations. This time around I wanted to express something far more important, but yet something that I rarely actually say to those that need to hear it. Specifically, I was thinking of our parents and how much more I understand them
What do you call…
February 17, 2006
Friday, February 17, 2006 …two days of rain followed by sun? The weekend! Yeah…after a few weeks of simply stunning California weather, it’s been wet and chilly the last couple of days. You know when you just have one of those weeks when things bug you unnecessarily and you just don’t have that “let it
Rediscovering my inner Starbuck
February 13, 2006
Monday, February 13, 2006 Ok…I used to have some level of cool. Not a lot, mind you, for somewhere on this planet there are pictures of me in western wear (I plead the early 80’s – that Dallas was *really* popular at the time, “Who shot JR” and all that jazz). There are also pictures
