Month: May 2005

Doris, great, it is back.

I’ve republished the blog, still no loading, help.

Our blog isn’t working. Hmmm..

Donald, congratulations and you are back from our 3-week vacation. It was nice and it was also the longest time (19 days) that we were together since 2001 🙂

Happy mother’s day and all. It’ll be nice to have you guys back on the blog again. We missed you here. This weekend was very nice. We had planned to go to an AMD softball game and picnic, but it was cancelled due to rain in the forcast, but it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. Vince and I went to the gym on Saturday morning, then in the afternoon, Jeremy made an eggplant, ricotta casserole to celebrate mother’s day and we all drove to Bard to spend the night. I found 2 geocaches on Saturday using my GPS system. It was a lot of fun. I’m having a good time playing this game. I found one near the Adam’s in Newburgh and one in Norrie State Park near Hyde Park.

That evening, we had dinner with Rob Black who lived with the Martins when Jeremy was 2. He’s a chiropractor who also writes fiction and nonfiction on the side. He was up at Bard taking a writing workshop with Katherine.

On Sunday, we hung around Bard and heated up the dinner that Jeremy had prepared. Yum! Now we are home!

This week, Mom and Dad are back from their 3 week trip. Katherine is off to China tomorrow for a month, Bob is going to Budapest for a week and we are off to Austin, TX on Saturday. We travel more in a week than many families do in a lifetime.

Picture of Vince on a bridge when we went geocaching at Mr. Morse Code’s house. He was looking out on a lake with ducks on it.

Emy and Ben having fun at Ben’s going away party! Woo hoo! Thanks for the pictures Emy, they were fabulous. Can’t wait to see you Wed. for dinner!

I skipped out on work yesterday to go to a wedding. I don’t really know know these people very well, but it was a pretty nice affair at the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San Jose. He was an army doctor and apparently, they had both known each other in chinese school and then gotten setup later in life.

I was jut mainly looking for familiar faces since I didn’t know who was going or not. I bumped into a friend of mine that I always bump into at random places: Fry’s, the bike shop. I also had the distinction of not having a my name on the seating chart too. I just attached myself to a table tho. Food was good tho not that much was served.

The groom was a little tipsy while he was giving his groom’s speech. That was amusing.

I cut out a little early since there wasn’t muich reason for me to stay. Then I went to Ray’s to play some poker. I won 10 bucks and I looked like a high roller in my suit and tie.

Today I went to the historical site where the guy (morse) invented his dot-dash code. I was trying to find my first geocache but it was just me and the kids and they were both getting antsy about actually looking for the treasure. I bought a cheap-o GPS thing at Target and got within 300 feet of some sort of ammunition box, but I couldn’t find it. Oh well.

I seem to be wasting a lot of time on the computer these days. I thought Donald might enjoy reading this.

Last night, I woke up to Vince retching in bed. Yucky. He was pretty feverish and just all around grumpy. Jeremy gave him a bath while I changed the sheets. This morning, he slept in late and spent the morning in bed reading books. His fever is much better and he’s up and about looking at pictures.

Jeremy is planning a training trip to Austin and California before he goes to Singapore.
