So many things…
Monday – 20 May 2013 So, it’s been slightly longer than I’d intended since the last non-Team DiVa post. Time somehow manages to just slip away. It’s been a good couple of weeks, for the most part. Home life has been good and, aside from spending far too many Saturdays in the office – it’s [...]
M-11
Monday – 11 March 2013 It’s been a while. Yesterday, we “sprang forward” into Daylight Saving Time. “Saving.” Not “Savings.” The night/morning, already made short by the leap forward in time, was made even more short by the fact that I had to go into work – at 5:30 AM – for a maintenance window. [...]
Batter up!
Thursday - 28 February 2013 A new NBN Thursday is here. So far, it’s not bad. It’s also the end of February. This morning, Diana was up a bit before Vanessa. In order to let Vanessa sleep a bit longer, brought her into our room. This appeased Diana… somewhat. So, I did what any father [...]
Space: The Final Frontier…
Thursday – 21 February 2013 It’s No Bad News Thursday. That’s really all that needs to be said. As I’ve mentioned, Team DiVa has a computer with a series of astronomy pictures as a screen saver in their room. The girls have been identifying things like “moon,” “stars” and the closest that they can get [...]
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen…”
Tuesday – 19 February 2013 It’s been a busy past few days around here. But, they’ve also been good days on the whole, so, like the one-legged man: I can’t kick. Saturday, I had the pleasure of going to work to kick a server back into… um… service. It had decided to go belly-up around [...]
Good day, Monday…
Monday – 11 January 2013 A new week is upon us. ‘Nuff said. This past weekend has been a bit of a whirlwind, but it’s also been quite fantastic. Friday night, I had a classmate from high school spend the evening with Sara!, Team DiVa and me: James (above) came to town a couple of [...]
Friday: Things and Whatnot
Friday – 08 February 2013 It’s (almost) the weekend. This evening, I’ll be getting together with a high school classmate for dinner. If memory serves, we haven’t seen each other since graduation… many moons ago. Chew on This: Food for Thought – Black History Month Today’s person of note: Zora Neale Hurston Zora Neale Hurston (January [...]
Back on the air
Wednesday – 06 February 2013 Not only is it midweek… Nor is it just new comics day… Or even Movie Date Night with Sara!… Today is my niece, Grace’s, fifth birthday: I first met Grace about a week after she was born. Since then (and mostly through the marvels of modern technology), I have watched [...]
Another Pleasant Valley Snow Day
Wednesday – 30 January 2013 More of Mother Nature’s frozen mocking laughter is falling on the Salt Lake valley this morning. The roads were actually in decent condition; the drivers, however… *shakes head* There was a roughly 6-mile stretch where the average speed dropped from 45 MPH all the way down to 15 MPH. For [...]
Daddy-DiVa Saturday!
Saturday – 26 January 2013 It’s the weekend. Selah. It’s been a good and somewhat busy week. Sara! has been attending a conference this week, so it’s mostly been Team DiVa and me at home at night. We all survived. That’s a good thing. Sara!’s conference ends today, but for most of the day, it’s [...]
Paradigm Shift
Saturday – 10 November 2012 This is a short post that I’m going to link to a long(er) post by someone else. Namely, this post. Why? Well, because I can. And because I really like what the other poster had to say, especially in light of the way that so many users of various social [...]
10-11-12
Thursday – 11 October 2012 Today (at least what’s left of it) is 10-11-12 Day. It has been a good NBN Thursday. I was also informed that there’s also some good news from one of the East Coast contingents of the family. Good news is always welcome. Today was also the first International Day of [...]
Oh, hello there!
Thursday – 23 August 2012 Man, I turn my back on this thing for a minute… and nearly two weeks go by! To make up for it, here’s a little Team DiVa goodness for you: Yep, they’re in overalls that their grandparents bought them – and have been waiting for them to grow into – [...]
“The Camera Eye”
Thursday – 26 July 2012 It’s another NBN Thursday in the valley. Were she alive, my maternal great-grandmother would have been 112 today. Last night, Sara! and I watched In Time for Movie Date Night: To be honest, it wasn’t bad. It reminded me quite a bit of Logan’s Run, but had enough of a [...]
Nope, *still* not Belgium.
Tuesday – 26 June 2012 I want to go on the record as saying that having twins who are crawling and cruising is: Fun, Entertaining, and A little tiring Often, they both head in the same vector. However, those times when they don’t…? Let’s just say that I’m getting an inkling of what it’s like [...]
