iChat goodness

My sister inherited my mother’s Macbook and I have to say how much I’m enjoying the iChat video chats with her. It’s so easy to do, which is a good thing when you hate user support as much as I do, and I find it to be the closest thing to being there. With her [...]

Starting to heal

It’s been nearly a month since Mother passed away. I’ve been trying to deal with her death as best as I can, but I’ve been feeling slightly off balance for most of the past four weeks.
My mind has trouble dealing with tenses as they relate to my mother. I don’t have trouble accepting the [...]

My Mother

My mother passed away on Wednesday morning. She was the single largest influence on my life and deserves most of the credit for everything that is good in me. She was about the best mother anyone could ask for. She loved my sister and me, and she put our needs first. She was also extremely [...]

What’s been happening here

We had to put our beloved dog, Suzy Pee Pee Head, down and two weeks later we found out that my mother has cancer. Two weeks later, Maria got hit while driving the Jeep. Obviously, the biggest news there is my mother’s illness. I’m not going to put much about that in this blog because [...]

Pee Pee Head

Suzy Pee Pee Head is gone. She had a seizure last night and we decided it was best to have her euthanised. She went peacefully and did not suffer. I’m too sad to write any more about it right now.

New baby pictures of Lane

It looks like Debbie got to babysit her grandson and she sent some pictures of the little guy. Here’s what she has to say about him, “he loves his new formula, rice cereral, and now carrots. Of course he is the smartest baby ever, he can crawl and he can nearly sit up [...]

Time to catch up / Mimi’s promotion

I haven’t posted in a long time. A few things have happened recently. The biggest news is Maria’s promotion to MTC supervisor. As with most promotions, it’s a lot more work without much more pay. I’m very happy for her and I know she’ll do a great job. She’s only been on the job for [...]

Welcome to the world Lane Michael Moritz

I don’t have many details, somebody really should fill me in on things like birthdate, weight, length and so forth. At least I have the little guy’s name and some pictures. Debbie sent these pictures of her, Dustin, and little Lane.

It’s really weird to think of my parents as great-grandparents. It’s less weird [...]

Maria’s big day

This past Saturday was a big day for Maria. First, she competed in the Archery competition of the local Corporate Challenge, and she won a silver medal. There were only two women in her division, but it was a silver medal nevertheless.
That evening, she won the General Manager’s Excellence award for her work on preparing [...]

Tyler’s visit

Tyler took some leave and came to town to visit family. I didn’t know if he’d feel like seeing us, but he did. He called on Friday, and I picked him up from his dad’s and we went out to eat and saw V for Vendetta. We were all pretty tired after the movie, [...]
