Noah's Birth Story
Wednesday, June 28. 2:30am. My water broke! That was different. I woke Jon up with the news and he called the midwife while I went up to go to the bathroom and to wake up my parents. The midwife said it could be a long time before labor gets going after water breaking, but that we could... (More)

Bloggers Make The News?
I was poking around on Slashdot , a site I used to read regularly, but then decided it was taking too much time. I found an article about Microsoft trying buy a portion of Yahoo , and apparently Yahoo rejected their offer. Not too exciting, but the interesting part is that the Financial Times... (More)

Verizon Credit Check
I got a notification from a credit bureau today saying that a new account had been opened by: Verizon Pen, PO BOX 165018, COLUMBUS, OH 43216. Since I haven't changed phone service since last year, it seemed odd that there would be a new account from Verizon.My mortgage company had their backup... (More)

The End of the Fish Saga
It has been many moons since a fish update. The last blog entry about it was October 2004, but there might be a newsletter that has a more recent update. If not this poor catfish of ours was lonely for a longer time than I thought. The little three-line cory catfish named Laura has hung on and... (More)

Fun Jonathan Quotes
Much of the Jonathan news is best encapsulated by quoting him: 12/15 - We slept late, and/or the garbage truck came early. We were having our pre-get-up nursing and I heard the truck in our street. Jonathan did too, for he lifted up his head and said, "Oopsie, trash truck!" and then sat up. So... (More)

Spam Thoughts
Mark Minasi, a guy who writes a Windows newsletter about various IT tricks and other things related to using a Windows system. This month, the majority of his newsletter was about spam, and I think he missed a couple points, so I wrote to him, and it ended up pretty long, so I figured I might... (More)

House in NH
Mom found this house while canoeing in the Merrimack River, and thinks it is just perfect for us. It does look great! There is a lot of land (13 acres) and a lovely place for the Black Rabbit to launch from. We have gotten used to Pittsburgh housing prices, so anything is a shock, but this... (More)

Mail Statistics
It is a new month, and therefore, a new point on my email graph . A couple interesting things this month: one, you can tell I went on vacation, and probably also that I knew Heather was gone the week before, so I wasn't emailing her as much either. Two, spam has now hit the 30% mark (note: the... (More)

Have A Nice Day
When I was in the grocery store today, a lady came up to me and said, "Did you see...?" and proceeded to tell me a sad and horrific story she had read in the newspaper. I said, "no, that's one reason I don't read the paper" and she went on about it and how angry she was. I started to move on,... (More)

Reality TV
I don't know a whole lot about the whole reality TV show craze, (I actually haven't seen a single one) but since this is a blog, I feel liberated to spout my views on the subject. There is an article in the Pittsburgh paper a couple of days ago regarding a former Pittsburgh priest, who has... (More)
