It's been ages since I've posted anything. With each passing month, it just gets easier and easier to let another month pass by. I suppose, it's a good thing that I don't have a lot to say. It just means that my life has settled into a comfortable routine.

During the last year, my carpal tunnel syndrome has not worsened, so I was surprised when I ( Read more... )

So, here's the deal- I'm tentatively traveling to the Los Angeles area with the spouse and grub for memorial day weekend, and am trying to figure out who I'm going to see, and what we're going to do. This sort of thing would be useful in advance, for example, when deciding where to book a hotel room. If you're interested in seeing an older, ( Read more... )

I've been mostly silent for a couple of months. Last month, we all traveled up to Idaho to visit some of my aunts and uncles, so that they could meet Doyle. It was a long trip, and we all managed to get a horrible cold, except for my father-in-law, who managed to also get a really bad asthma attack from all of the smoke when we returned. The long ( Read more... )
