This morning Patty and I went to see a play that Maegan’s class was performing. Each child was assigned a historical figure to portray. Maegan was Annie Oakley and she did a great job. She nailed all her lines without hesitation, speaking clearly and loud enough for all the parents to hear. She’s never shown [...]
Last month we lost our entire website Photo Album due to an unknown issue on my server. Since I had to start from scratch again, rather than reinstall the software which failed I decided to go with Picasa Web Albums. I much rather prefer to fully embed my entire photo album within my website like [...]
Patty came home to find this odd site of Boomer laying on top of Hobo’s crate, like Snoopy atop his doghouse in Peanuts. Boomer loves to lay in the sunshine, no matter where it lands. Look closely and you’ll see Hobo inside his crate, paying no concern to his upstairs neighbor.
This afternoon there was a bank robbery in Fort Mill. Police chased the thieves in to Charlotte where the car crashed. One suspect was apprehended quickly but another darted in to a nearby apartment complex. Dozens of police cars were called in to search for the missing bank robber, as were two police search helicopters, [...]

Every time you load a new page or click “reload” on your browser you’ll get a new header image. So far I’ve got four header images available but I’ll add more later. Another big [...]
Since last month’s post, “SUNY Plattsburgh Trivia”, turned out to be so popular I decided to do another round. With all the good trivia gone, I’ve always wondered what the stories were behind the names of some of the buildings around SUNY Plattsburgh. Some were obvious and some were surprising. I admit I couldn’t find [...]
We wanted to keep the baby’s name a secret right up until the baby was born, but the secret accidentally slipped out anyway. And since the cat is out of the bag now anyway, the name we’ve chosen is Darah Shea. One of several reasons behind the name is that the letter D is in [...]
Here’s a short video of Maegan practicing her electric guitar by playing Jingle Bells.
