Daley Ponderings

Since I just wasted a bit of time trying to figure out how I had configured Cygwin the first time, so as to help someone else set up their account, I figure I will post the instructions here:cygwin.bat: @echo off e: chdir e:/progra~1/cygwin/bin set path=%path;e:/progra~1/cygwin/usr/bin... (More)

" By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk... (More)

The Graduate Christian Fellowship at Carnegie-Mellon University has a group that meets weekly for discussion of various articles. I rarely make it to the discussion, but this week's topic was David Brooks's articles on Patio Man and the "Sprawl People" . I was asked for a summary of... (More)

Pittsburgh vehicle drivers need to learn the law. A guy swerved into me on my bike today. I honked at him, but he continued into my path. I yelled at him, and he stopped and got out of his car and made like he was going to do something. He then decided better of it (I guess I must have been... (More)

Copied from the Friends of Judy e-list: We are planning to start gathering at the courthouse at 9 a.m. Please allow extra time for rush hour traffic in Pittsburgh. The gathering at the courthouse will be a quiet showing of support. Judy has requested that we be very respectful in our... (More)

I thought I would be writing this post to say how great Lingo is, and how you should all sign up for their service. They answer their phone within a couple rings, no matter when I called, and sounded like they would be able to fix any technical problems I had. However, after spending hours on... (More)

Born: November 18th, 2003 -- 6:20AM Not much here yet, will get around to that hopefully soon (where "soon" means sometime before he is 20). Here are some pictures to start! (More)

Statement of Purpose We gather before God in remembrance of the life and death of this child of God, Isaac Christopher Daley. We come to praise God for life in the midst of death; for God's good understanding in the face of bewildering sorrow; for the sharing of comfort with one another;... (More)

We went to the CORE ceremony today. The ceremony was for donors and recipients of organ donations from 2002. Isaac's heart valves were collected and frozen for future use. They have not yet been transplanted into anyone yet, but I guess they can be stored for a couple years and they will still... (More)

We went down to the court house for the second part of the inquest today. However, the coroner's office forgot to subpeona the witnesses. Details.... Channel 4 knew that they wouldn't have a story unless they could get some new angle, so the lady tried to come to our house so that people could... (More)

We have been doing pretty good, after the inquest day was over, things got a lot better, and I think we could relax some, and not be so stressed -- although, even as I write this, I realize my shoulders are tense. Somewhat unrelated side-note (related just because it is about babies!) John and... (More)

The memorial service has been scheduled for March 16th, 2:00PM, at the Church of Ascension in Pittsburgh (Oakland, 4729 Ellsworth Avenue ) We are planning on a fairly informal service/celebration of Isaac's life, and would love to have you come. If you want to help out with that, we will... (More)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.     Romans 15:13 Not much changed last night, although Isaac's heartbeat did return to a normal pace. The doctors have said that in... (More)

When I arrived at the hospital, they told me that what they said the night before was not true. (of course they didn't admit that, rather just a "clarification" of what they had said) When they said he had low brain activity and possibly the phenobarbitol was attentuating the activity, what they...
