For the last several years we have attended the Lewis Family Festival in Lincolnton, Georgia during this week before Mother’s Day. This year, we’re staying home. Mom just got out of the hospital after almost two weeks. She’s at a nursing home/rehab facility near here. I think I can ride my bike up there, I’ll probably …

Random Musical Thoughts
A while ago, I ripped all our tapes and CD’s to the main computer. I’ll be investing in a turntable to do all the albums soon, perhaps before next winter. I just made a playlist of all the songs with a Pete Goble writing credit. It’s an interesting list, but probably contains less than a …

Lose a phone lately?
Granny’s home has the usual utilities, electricity, natural gas, water, and some others, satallite radio and TV, land-line phone and DSL. We also have cell phones.

That was a correct statement. When I worked, I kept complicated project plans, with date assumptions, and other frightening things. Now that …

It Happened Here
I was working on a project yesterday, when D3 came running down and told me about this. The shooting part had already occurred and police were trying to secure the building and find the shooter. I assured her that anyone running from the law would not be driving into our sub, a couple of miles …

The Real World
Welcome to the real world, is what I thought when we arrived at my Mother-in-law’s home, “up North”. They were at the end of one bang up winter storm. The snow wasn’t too deep, a couple of feet where it blew up drifts behind the house, but it’s April, for heaven’s sake. I saw her …
