  • Al and Norma

    One of my cousins asked me to write down some of my memories of my Uncle Al and Aunt Norma for their 50th wedding anniversary.  It was a surprise gift for my Aunt and Uncle in August, so I delayed posting the stories here until now: Story 1: A Day in the Life of a…

  • Uncle Steve and the Rays

    Toren’s latest visitor flew in on Friday, his Uncle Steve (one of Debi’s brothers).  He had the joy of waking up to Toren through the night, but has had several chances to hold him and feed him: Last night, Steve and I went to the Rays game.  They were ahead until the 7th inning, when…
