A new Ipod brings sadness

October 18th, 2006 · No Comments

What a weird title…
Yesterday I received my brand new iPod Video. It’s black, sleek and eye (and ear) candy. My previous iPod was the popular but now discontinued Mini. As in most geek households, there’s a trickle down effect with gadgets in Chateau LaRonde-Guentzel. I usually get the new thing, Susan and [...]

And his name is…Jinx!

October 15th, 2006 · No Comments

We kicked around several names that you would traditionally associate with a young kitten. We thought of Scamp, Midnight, Rascal, and even Fluffy.

Susan and I have been together (as a couple) for 10 years now. For friends and family who have known us, you know about our cat Herschel. I’m very sad to report that Herschel passed away today. According to the Vet she had pancreatitis and was on a steady decline ever since [...]

Kayla at the Homecoming Dance

October 2nd, 2006 · No Comments

Kayla is now in High School. Imagine my feeling of “old age” when she announced she would be going to the Homecoming dance and would require the materials and prep that comes with going to a dance.
Sigh…
Of course she’s beautiful…but how did she get so old so quickly?
