Happy birthday Brian
Another little celebration in California with the better weather in store for him. Hopefully the food matches. As always for me, his card will be late yet I don’t think he counts on me too much there. According to his … Continue reading
Happy 16th Birthday to Nick!
A joyous occasion! My first nephew and/or niece was born on this day. Now he’s in the prime spot of being a teenager. Recently his dad told me what he’s into…mountain bikes (alright) and skateboarding (hmm). The latter gets the semi-disapproving noise because … Continue reading
RIP Aunt Letty
I recently received the sad news from my brother Brian tonight yet previous updates were provided by Cousin Leesa over the weekend. Letty had been more ill than I realized since her surgery several years ago. However, I want to talk … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Somara!
Today is a pretty cool day for my wife of 11-plus years. It’s also her 16th birthday with me. I guess you could say our relationship is allowed to drive! Only a few more years before it can buy me … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Anna!
The only true Maggi niece celebrates today. I use the adjective in italics due to her being my brother’s daughter. There are the daughters of cousins I just call niece for simplicity, I have no idea how to do that cousins-removed … Continue reading
Happy 110th Birthday to Grandpa
It would’ve been pretty cool if he made it this far. He loved technology and I think all the miniaturization we have now would blow his mind.
19 years of marriage for my brother
It was yesterday but I crapped out thanks to fatigue setting in while exploring the local Costco for supplies, namely generic Zyrtec. Congratulations to Linda and Brian. They’re now on part two of living in California again.
Happy Birthday Anje
My favorite sister-in-law celebrates whatever. I only know she’s younger but a trooper to wrangle three boys, especially when two must be home-schooled. Appears that education isn’t a high priority in Qatar for accommodating foreigners. Anje has a degree in … Continue reading
Happy (belated) 108th birthday to Grandma
Just like a greeting card, I missed the exact date for my maternal grandmother’s birthday. It would’ve been number 108 if she were alive. Given her stubbornness, I think Grandma had good odds to make it a century-plus had she … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Brian!
My kid brother lives on the West Coast now so at least this is valid for more than a couple hours unlike the Central Zone. His birthday was often a form of Spring Break when we were growing up. Our … Continue reading
Happy Birthday to the Bridges!
Yesterday was my brother-in-law Aaron’s and today (which may be tomorrow already in Doha) is Wyatt’s. Lucky ducks. According to my weather widget, it’s pretty mild over there but more importantly, it’s isn’t freezing cold like Central Texas…another weather advisory … Continue reading
The Chicago Maggis will be the Silicon Valley Maggis
On top of me being too tired to write anything just when I said I’d get back to being consistent…I receive an e-mail from my brother Brian announcing his move back to California. I won’t go through any details in order … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Nick!
Fifteen years ago this little dude joined the relatively small Maggi Clan. It’s a bummer his b-day is during Thanksgiving but at least he doesn’t have to go to school today! Nick is now getting into the thick of being … Continue reading
Happy birthday Cannon and off to Qatar he goes
I know he’s my youngest nephew but I can’t recall if he’s the youngest kid in the bunch. I do know it’s his birthday. What an odd treat, going on a 15-hour flight to live in Qatar. As I stated … Continue reading
Farewell weekend for the Bridge-Aggie faction
By Wednesday my three Aggie-based nephews will be on their way to live in Qatar for the next five, maybe 10 years. I hope it is going to be a cool adventure. I’m a bit jealous since learning Arabic can … Continue reading
