For the romatic in you
Friday, October 20th, 2006Some of my favorite one-liners: “Other men said they have seen angels, But I have seen thee And thou art enough.†~ G. Moore “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.†~ Anonymous “Our love started at forever and ends at never.†~ Anonymous [...]
Keeping up with the Del Rios
Thursday, October 5th, 2006John Liotti visited NYC for a few days following CCDA; hung out with Diana, Judah and me on Sunday at Brooklyn’s own 3rd Avenue Festival and then in Chinatown at Joe’s Shanghai (Judah’s favorite soupy dumpling spot); stayed at Abounding Grace’s lap of luxury accomodations; dined with me at Ray’s and barmarche on Monday; and [...]
“Mad” good times with Judah
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006+ First grade is starting to rub off on Judah. His newest favorite adjective: “mad.” Everything is mad good or mad easy or mad fun or mad hard. + The transition back to school was mad hard for him, as he cried nearly every morning for about a week. But the emotional turning point came [...]
A reminder how cute he is
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006Monday – Judah’s first day of first grade Showing off his first lost tooth, which became loose on Saturday and fell out three hours later! And, oh by the way, he wanted a spiky new do for school. Actually he wanted a mohawk, but the Christian school he attends won’t allow that, so we compromised. [...]
Final Vacation Post – Catskill Game Farm
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006We’re b…a…c…k from vacation. Judah at the venerable Catskill Game Farm. After 73 years, the Game Farm is closing for good in October. Diana and I both have such great childhood memories from there that we had to take Judah. He made the most of the experience! Photo Set. Despite prolonged withdrawal the first few [...]
52°
Saturday, August 26th, 2006An unprepared Judah and I quickly discovered that’s the permanent temperature 156 ft. below ground in Howe Caverns. Dairy farmer Lester Howe discovered the underground wonderland in the summer of 1842 when his cattle gathered around bushes in the open sun, unlike every other local cow that frittered away hot afternoons lounging under shade trees. [...]
Better than the movies and even Chuck-E-Cheese
Saturday, August 26th, 2006That was the consensus of three children after ferrying from Newbury Port, Massachusetts, to Shoal Islands, off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire, last Monday night. Sandwiched between two, one-hour boat trips (the second one at sunset), Judah and his cousins Willie and Amber spent two hours climbing the rocky shores of Star Island. [...]
The Cry of a Generation
Friday, July 21st, 2006My friend Doug Stringer sent the following story in his most recent newsletter. ____________________ “There are times when I feel like the title ‘father’ is the worst name God could have given Himself. What a stupid idea, when ‘father’ means rejection in my world.†It was late Sunday night and I had this message from [...]
