Good News! For those of you who are wondering, Mom came through her surgery very well. Carolyn, Sherri and I spent a good amount of time with her, until Sherri drove me home so I could teach. Carolyn stayed and later, when I called, I heard that not only had Sherri returned, but she brought [...]
Dan has been in his room working on his photos most of today. If you want to see what he has so far you can visit his flickr site and … well … enjoy! :-)
… but I do really like this book, so whatever.
You’re A Prayer for Owen Meany!
by John Irving
Despite humble and perhaps literally small beginnings, you inspire
faith in almost everyone you know. You are an agent of higher powers, and you manifest
this fact in mysterious and loud ways. A sense of destiny pervades your every waking
moment, and [...]
I washed all the windows on the east side of the house. With the ivy so low, and the windows so clean the light coming through is pretty amazing. The house feels much more open, and I love it!
Dan called while Jameson and I were in downtown Willow Glen. Sounds as if he’ll be home [...]
I felt sort of bad about all the ivy I had chopped down today; so much of it wound up in front of our neighbors house, to the east of us. I did think, though, that they would be delighted that it was cut back. They are immaculate yard keepers (and house keepers) and I [...]
It is quite traditional for certain things to take place when Dan is on vacation. This week is no different, I’m pleased to say. (Because I’m not good at all with change.)

The DVD recorder [...]
(TDFQ = Tour de France Quotes. I find the things that some of these guys so so hysterically funny. Or colorful. Or just plain weird. So I’m compiling them here.)
They might just get in by the skin of their shorts.
The race of truth, it never lies.
We thought he was fading away. Now he’s as bright [...]
Jameson set our Sony DVD Recorder to record the Tour for today, because it began at 3:30. He set the recorder at a slower speed so it would record 3 hours. I actually SET my alarm for 6:25 so I could get up and change disks to record the final 2 hours. (Yes, it was [...]
To the person who landed here when doing a search on Playboy July 2007 centerfold … so sorry! I have nothing for you. And I mean nothing. Oh. But maybe disdain. Yes, I am feeling a bit of disdain for you. Sorry. “It’s just the way I am.” (To quote my dear dad.)
To the person [...]
So … slow reader that I’ve become (I think I didn’t give books the time they deserved when I was younger, actually), I finally finished Harry Potter.
Loved it.
Now I’m feeling sort of sad that it’s all over. And at the same time it does seem right and proper for Rowling to have ended [...]
