My mother called last night with word that her youngest brother had died around noon that day. He was 65 years-old. His death wasn’t entirely unexpected as he’s been battling cancer for some time and had been in and out of the hospital more than once recently. Still that doesn’t make hearing the news any . . . → Read More: My Uncle Dan has passed away.

… for my dad is due. His birthday was actually yesterday, but we’re making the trip to spend some time with him today as Anne had to work. My dad has reached the 68 year old milestone and, despite some health issues, is still plugging along pretty well. So here’s a belated Happy Birthday . . . → Read More: A belated birthday wish… Alas my Canon Powershot A40 camera is on the fritz so I had to rely on my RCA Small Wonder EZ205 for the snapshots. Being that for all intents and purposes it’s a pocket webcam the quality isn’t the greatest, but here she is laying on Courtney’s unmade bed: Click to embiggen! As you can . . . → Read More: Meet Beanie Jenkins. The wife and I were at Pet Smart last night after I got out of class to buy more cat food for Melvin, the Official SEB Cat, as he was running low. While we were there we took our customary stroll by the adoption enclosure housing the cats looking for a home. As we always . . . → Read More: We are, once again, adding a new member to the family. Looks like things have cleared up just enough to allow for the annual trip up to my parents place for Krismas Eve dinner. With the weather being so crappy over the past couple of days we weren’t certain if we’d be able to make the trek safely or not. From Ann Arbor it’s a good . . . → Read More: Over the river and through the woods… …still recovering from Courtney’s open house yesterday. It went very well and everyone seemed to have a good time. Glad it’s over though. It’s amazing how much stuff it takes to pull one of those off. I don’t remember my own open house being that much work, but then I wasn’t the parent back then . . . → Read More: Not much posting today… Today is a significant day in the Jenkins household for a couple of reasons. The first is due to the fact that my daughter, Courtney, has managed to make her way through the trials and tribulations of the public education system in Michigan to her very last class this morning. Final grades aren’t in yet, . . . → Read More: Today is a day of graduations and birthdays. I think I’ve mentioned that Courtney has been going through driver’s education as of late. Her course is in two parts between which she’s supposed to get 30 hours of time behind the wheel and, because I do most of the driving in the family, it was decided that I would be the one taking . . . → Read More: Ponderings on driver’s education. I’m sitting in the chair watching the morning news this morning with about ten minutes to go before I leave for work when the phone rings. It’s odd to get a call that early in the day and it’s a cell phone number so I pick it up. The voice on the other end informs . . . → Read More: The problem of 47 million uninsured Americans gets personal. Thanks to a very generous donation of spare PC parts from an SEB Member —who I’m not sure if he wants me to use his name, but he knows who he is—Anne once more has her own functional PC. I just put the finishing touches on it and set it back in its spot on . . . → Read More: Christmas comes a little early for Anne. |
