Sometimes I decide not to look forward to an event because it might not turn out as well as I had imagined that it would. Such was the case with the wine tour we were going on last weekend for my daughter’ s birthday. Her sister had it all set up and they even let [...]

Follow Up – St. Anthony’s Visit
February 8th, 2010 · No Comments
I don’t have to eat my hat, not that I felt I was in danger of having to do so.
I got the call today while I was out. Luckily that made it be recorded on my answering machine for all posterity to listen to.
Where was the missing notebook that I was too blind to see? [...]

Old School

Went through the old campus today as I had to drive my son to a place across the street. How appropriate that I be there this weekend, the anniversary of the Bilzzard of ‘77. I was at Buffalo State at that time and lived through the -60 degree wind chill and snow up to the [...]

Two Days And Counting
January 16th, 2010 · 6 Comments
It’s two days and counting until I will be back to an empty nest.
As I sit here on a Friday night at 11:20 PM with my hot date asleep since 9 PM on the easy chair across from me, I contemplate how this exciting pace of life will slow down when my son returns to [...]

I decided to check out my Facebook page and noticed that my niece had some new photos posted. I looked and low and behold, the moldy bread we found in my fridge yesterday was there. This loaf was dated to be eaten before June 23.
See what happens when your child goes off to college? All [...]

What Have I told You About Backup and Restore?
November 5th, 2009 · 4 Comments
I was sent on a mission. My daughter’s computer died and I was to get the system restore disks to her. Following the directions to find them in her things was like being on a Lewis and Clark expedition, but I found the box in her closet.
No disks in the box. As I read the manual, [...]

Halloween Cow Tale – cookies and milk
October 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Sometimes you just can’t make these things up. Like this story in last night’s paper where a man in a cow costume drove nto the river (after some partying). I had to laugh several times as it was just a comedy of errors complete with the video surveillance copy of his drive into the drink accidentally erased. [...]
