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…

blech!
I came down with a sore throat yesterday. I usually get at least one cold a semester (which manifests primarily as a sore throat in me for some reason). I basically survive on lozenges when I get these, so when my throat started hurting yesterday, I started in on a bag of lozenges we had…

Ever wondered what a Smashmouth concert looks like?

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…

Grandmary arrives!
Debi’s Mom, Rosemary (a.k.a. Grandmary; her dad, Gary, is “Grandgary” to the grandkids), flew in yesterday. She’s visiting for about a week (I’ll take some photos while she’s here, but haven’t yet). I just have to note that her knowledge of babies has already proven invaluable. While I’ve been posting mostly cute pictures of Toren,…

Toren at the beach
Toren had his first visit from family on the 13th when his uncle, Brent Robbins, overnighted in Tampa. We went out to Clearwater for dinner and Brent was kind enough to take a photo of our little family – the first with all three of us. It’s not the greatest photo (not Brent’s fault), but…

Star Trek
So, it turns out Debi and I aren’t the only Star Trek fans in Tampa. We weren’t interviewed by Fox 13, but saw all of these people being interviewed when we went last night. As far as the movie goes, it’s very good, but somewhat problematic as far as the Star Trek time line goes. …

Spring Dance Concert
Among all the other things Debi has been doing, she found the time to choreograph a dance for the University of Tampa Spring Dance Concert with a friend (and now neighbor). Here it is:
