One of my best friends has survived his personal Year of Homer successfully. It was quite eventful for him if you read his brief reflection. I know I’m glad I had the opportunity to participate in the wedding. Drop Jose … Continue reading →

Last night, my friend and former co-worker at Kenny’s, Kate gave birth to her first child Cadence! No, not something derived from Candice like Candice Bergen of Murphy Brown fame. Cadence as in the definition courtesy of Webster’s. I think … Continue reading →

My friend is lucky, he shares his birthday with Albert Einstein and Michael Caine plus it’s the infamous math constant for Pi. Nelson remains on paternity leave/vacation; it’s a vacation because he’s enjoying the time with his four children, so … Continue reading →

Just because I’m pre-occupied with Somara’s recovery, on top of everything else in my life, I never forget my brother’s day. I was late mailing him a card but I didn’t forget. Despite the rather rough weather in Chicago (compared … Continue reading →

Yeah, I know, lame, but I never grow tired of the joke or premise from The Pirates of Penzance. I’m confident he’ll be sick of it by the time he’s a young adult. Yet he won’t turn down the free … Continue reading →

Nelson’s fourth child was born Friday night. I didn’t want to announce it until there were pictures. Maybe it’s a validity thing. Don’t want people thinking Nelson and Tammy have virtual children because the first group investigating such a claim … Continue reading →

I won’t divulge my friend’s age, that’s up to her to share because she’s a lady. What Sheila is up to on her birthday is a mystery to me since she hasn’t answered my letter or the card I sent. … Continue reading →

He’s Paul & Helen Silder’s oldest kid and he seems to be doing well; wait until he’s a teenager, the real litmus test for parent-child relations. Helen says he becomes more and more like his father Paul every day. I … Continue reading →

In the past I have rudely forgotten that Mary’s birthday is the same as Elvis (73) and David Bowie (61). I remembered this year because it was staring me in the face on my Now Up2Date program. It also helps … Continue reading →

Seems that Somara’s cooking overwhelmed my afternoon coffee and prevented me from posting about Paul’s birthday…for the third year in a row. Poor dude, he’s sick right now too. Everybody at his job was ill previously while he had been … Continue reading →

For us in North America, you better hurry since she resides in Switzerland which is a few hours ahead. If you’re in Japan, Australia or New Zealand, it’s too late since it’s tomorrow already. Sonia will always a have a … Continue reading →

Bummer that he has to go to school on his birthday but both his parents have theirs in March so they can relate and probably lessen the sting of it. The harder part I have with his birthday is its … Continue reading →

Today is her official birthday but last week Somara was in Florida to celebrate it early. If several people have a birthday in the same month, then they’re lumped together into one party. I guess it’s for efficiency or some … Continue reading →

I sent him an e-mail yesterday as part of my usual correspondence routine and I rudely forgot that today is his birthday. Practically not a day goes by when I don’t miss Doc (his nickname) for his part in bringing … Continue reading →

The details of Jose and Nancy’s wedding are still coming together so there will be a longer delay. If you’ve been by the site in the last 24 hours, you’ve noticed I made a formatting error in my rush to … Continue reading →
