From Honoring the original WWW We are in Michigan, celebrating the long life of my Grandpa, Woody White. My dad was looking for the right word for him: jokster wasn’t it, but definitely fun-loving. I think we’ve all shared our favorite Grandpa-jokes this week (and it’s no wonder that my Dad, and increasingly me, like [...]
I was looking for an old photo today and ran into this one along the way. I thought it was just way too cute not to bring to your attention! From Old Photos Here is me, my dad, and my brother, at Dinosaur Park in Rapid City, SD, probably around 1985. I was very proud [...]
We cooked a lot – and are starting to become quite competent in tex-mex and mexican recipes: Our mailbox was destroyed. Again. We thoroughly enjoyed Pi Rho festival (the rocket festival we go to with our friend Sally): Having baseball to softball sized hail hit my car with me in it is not something I [...]
My parents are visiting us for a few days, from Connecticut. We’ve had fun going shopping, watching Nebraska win their bowl game, and eating BBQ & Tex-Mex together.

Attention Minnesotans! I will be in the Cities next weekend (Feb 29-Mar 2) primarily for Steve & Sara’s shower, but also to see any and all family who are around. My mom will be there too (she gets in on Thursday afternoon and we both leave Sunday afternoon). I’m not sure where we’re staying yet [...]

It looks like we’ll both be in the wedding, which will be in Grand Island, Nebraska. Becky
