Thinking Out Loud

I held back for a week, before I put this here.  But since I’m on the subject of new technology (see here) I can’t help replaying a telephone conversation with my brother.

It all started innocently  enough.

me:  “What’s new?”

brother: “We’re finally going to replace the flooring in our house.  Should start next week.”

me: “Great!  How long is that gonna take?”

brother: “Not too long.  They are coming in and doing it one room at a time (a good plan I thought, but didn’t say anything) and they move the furniture and everything. (moving the furniture first is even a better plan!)”

me: “Cool – and you’re getting the whole main floor done, right?”

brother: “Yeah – and we got new appliances too” Read the rest of this entry »

Ben was born Tuesday morning in Calgary. Read the rest of this entry »

Amy and Bert were married on Saturday. The ceremony was in my back yard, and despite the rainy day, things could not have been better.

I’ll post a few photos for now, and some more later on. Read the rest of this entry »

All was well and good, and kinda funny while the dog was licking his hand. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s one o’clock a.m. and I should be sleeping since I want an early start for my trip to Alberta tomorrow morning – later this morning, actually.

According to the weather report, there is a chance of snow flurries here in Saskatchewan.  There’s supposed to be mild temperatures with a mix of sun and rain and in Alberta.

I hate driving in a snowstorm, so if it’s ugly here in the morning, I’ll postpone the trip for a day or two. Look for me tomorrow afternoon sometime. I’ll be the one calling from my cell for directions…

I’ve added another web page to the “About Me” section.

The section for Jack (that’s my new grandson) is finally online, though it’s a bit bare at the moment. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m not sure I get Facebook.

That’s not exactly true. I do understand what it is, and how it works.

The thing is, I don’t see how anyone can possibly visit all of their friends pages, and browse all of the stuff that’s there. Most pages go on and on and on forever. Read the rest of this entry »

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?

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. Read the rest of this entry »
