Remembering Henry
Thursday, July 31, 2008
I would never have called him that in person, for
fear of getting severely (and deservedly)
punished. He was one of my grandpas and I rarely
talked to him these past few years. It was mostly
during a holiday at my parents’ house. I
did call him a few times on my cell phone.
Tonight, I finally looked at some photos that my dad gave me that was passed out the weekend of grandpa’s funeral, from a few weeks ago.
The photos can be seen here, unedited and full of stories that I wish I had taken the chance to find out more about. He served as a medic in the 82nd Airborne in the U.S. Army and jumped out of airplanes! My grandpa was a member of the “greatest generation”.
The Herald Tribune and Farley Funeral Home both have his obiturary online.

Ouch!

This morning, Skyler and I were having a pillow
fight. As he was running towards the bed, I threw
a pillow at him and he fell, cutting his
forehead, above his left eye. Blood was
everywhere! I felt bad, but he is doing
surprisingly well.
Do not call C.P.S.! This is how it looked a couple hours later.

Obama in a Bottle
Monday, July 28, 2008
Late last night, I got
back from Denver, where I spent a couple of
days with aunts and uncles, cousins, and 2nd
cousins. Saturday was our long video shoot. We
got footage of Barrack Obama in his bottle for
obamainabottle.com (site will be
up soon). It will be on YouTube.com and other places
around the ‘net. I enjoyed my short trip
and the weather was great.

Oliver!
Monday, July 21, 2008
Yesterday afternoon, Renea and I went to see
Oliver! at the Broadway Palm Theatre. When
we arrived, we saw Renea’s mom, Jon,
Kalie, and Nathan (Renea’s
sister’s two kids). Last year, we saw
The Full Monty. Before the
show there is a pretty good food buffet.
Even though it’s a long drive,
it’s worth it.
Is That A Toy Snake?
Monday, July 14, 2008
This afternoon, Josh asked his mom about the big,
toy snake in the backyard, near the wall. She
didn’t know what he was talking about.
That’s when I came into the room and got a
glimps of it before it moved and we are were
confirmed that it was a real snake. Josh and I
went out with a rake and couldn’t find it.
It must’ve found a quick hiding place or
went over the wall. It looked like this, a
Coachwhip, because it appeard
to have a reddish tint to it.
We didn’t go swimming today!

Monsoon Is Here!
Wednesday, July 09, 2008
Today was the first
really big rainfall for The Valley this monsoon season. Before I got
home, Renea and Skyler played on the front
porch. I was running around town, doing some
errands, and when it poured down so hard, all
the cars stopped. I couldn’t see more than
10 feet in front of the van. It was crazy!
Overall, it was the heaviest rain in a decade out
here.
