I hate September. It’s usually a horrible month for me. However, I am happy to report, that this September turned-out to be relatively easy for me. The seasons have changed, my classes at school are wonderful, Derek has almost fully recovered from the summers’ surgery, and life is getting back to normal [...]

My life was going so great until January when Derek got diagnosed with cancer. I’m not saying that life is terrible now, just that I have been thrown into a life of unpredictability. I hate that.

I had a family dinner tonight. I only see my brother four or five times a year, despite the fact that he lives a ten minute drive away. If fact, he’s never invited me to his home, ever. We are almost like strangers, except that we share a lot of history. [...]

I took my eldest daughter to see Across The Universe today. We were not disappointed. My daughter is a huge Beatles fan, and spent the summer working on learning a few Beatles songs on the piano. The movie is wonderful, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It is both historical [...]

A new term for emails that crowd your inbox: Bacn. A step above Spam, but one step below a personal email. I think it’s a web2.0 phenomenon, and I hope we can keep it under control.

A few weeks ago I accidentally deleted all my emails, including my email address book, from my hard drive.

Yesterday I took the kids to the park after dinner. We ran into a guy and his two kids who I’d known from pre-school days. I asked how his wife was doing, and he said she’s doing “GREAT!” He said she is “heavily involved” in the local soccer club, and was actually [...]
