OK, so I might not be the most articulate person in the world, but I’m not in congress. This is from William Gibson’s Blog and is a quote from a congressman trying to explain about the Net Neutrality law and why it’s either a good or a bad thing. The only thing I know for…
This is what my 8 year old is capable of off the cuff (she spent about 5 minutes writing this up when she saw I was in a grouchy mood because of a client). The spelling is hers: ——- Recipe for happieness ingredents 1 cup of love 1 loving Mom 1 carring Dad 1 sweet…
Yesterday, I had an idea that rather than make everyone sad at Greg’s passing, I’d do something that could help people remember him when he was alive and vibrant and spinning his music. To that end, I put up a shoutcast server in my home with 7 of Greg’s “greatest hits.” Well, the 7 songs…
Today was the memorial service for Greg. It was both beautiful and packed with relatives and friends, both of the online and more conventional variety. I don’t think I can rehash it right now, or even process it, but I have PDF’d the programme and you can grab it HERE. Also, Eleanor Blake, Gregory’s mom…
I’ve been very remiss on this blog lately. I have many stories about my kids that I should have posted, but haven’t. I’ve been busy with work, and when I’m not working, I have my family, and my friends. Most of my friends are online. I spend a good deal of time talking to them…
This is from my dad (Ellen’s sleeping over there for a few days): —- Sitting at starbucks. I say to ellen, “if we count we usually count starting with 1.” She: right. me: then what is the point of zero? she: how else can we understand 4 minus 4, or 10 minus 10. I just…
This story comes from Kim, who got it from Ms. Decarlo, the school principal. Apparently, Ms. Decarlo hears someone out in the hall, spewing “Jesus Christ!” again and again and she came out to find Katie, trying to thread her way through a crowd of people in her way from one end of the school…
A few snippets in a blog that’s been woefully ignored: Yesterday, Ellen sent Kim an email with the following message: > Dear Mommy > let Ellen stay home today or we will destroy your planet. > > From the igana men To which Kim replied: Dear Ellen, I do not respond well to such strong…
Today was the day. The Bahamas. Me. Kim. NO KIDS. Just the two of us heading away for the first time in 14 years, since our honeymoon in Paris. Bliss! And then, the winds came to Newark. Delayed. 50 minutes. More. Get into Dulles and we’ve missed our flight to the Bahamas. Wait in line.…
Ellen’s been dying to try out her new telescope, so I came down after exercising to find her staring through it at the fireplace (unlit). So I suggested we put it at the window, so she could look out. Ok, so now it’s about 3 feet off the ground at the window, pointing up, and…
