Happy birthday, Graham (wherever you are in Taiwan)

I know it’s a day late (two days in Taiwan).

Just wondering – what the *@!! are you trying to do in this photo?

Congratulations Amy and Bert!

Just thought I’d let everyone know that Amy and Bert are the proud parents of brand new son, Albert Jack. He was born on February 14th.

And that makes me a grandpa again!!!

As soon as I get some more photos, I’ll get them posted here.

Here’s a couple that were emailed to me. I’m hoping for more, but mom claims she’s kinda busy…

For Mom

Tomorrow (October 24) is Mom’s birthday.

Even though she’s no longer with us, I thought for a couple of minutes, we could honour the day with a few old songs I remember her playing on the piano, guitar, or oh my god… even the accordion… as well as the record player.

So sit back, dig out the old record player…

(we had one just like this, but you had to plug it into the old radio that was on top of the fridge somehow)

and remember Mom with me
