After many years of being a first grade teacher, my sister Judy has certainly earned the freedom of retirement days doing what she wants. She has been messaging this week as she is sorting through many boxes of family memories, sharing a gem every day. She sent this photo asking if I remembered it: But […]
According to the 25 of EdTech Years Goggles, 1994 was the year of BBS. The web itself came to be a thing in 1995. But you’ve heard it all, right? My foray into what I might claim as an open course on the web has been dangling around that drafty place of drafts described by […]
May 2 is but one the 365 days per year, another block on the calendar, but also it is World Tuna Day. Who knew? Skip on by if you, rare reader, are looking for something difference for me recycling family memories. It’s my blog! This day for me is the marking of my Dad’s birthday, […]
The calendar reminder was on time today as was my sister Judy with a text messaging noting that today was our Aunt Ruth’s 100th birthday. My Mom’s oldest sister, Ruth has outlived siblings Dinah, Harvey, and Alyce (mom) while Dorothy, the youngest is living too. Judy has heard via Facebook that Ruth’s granddaughter had entered […]
Today would be well heck always is my parent’s wedding anniversary. 71 years ago today, Mickey and Alyce got hitched.

If you can wax on about stuff from 25 years ago…. (the blank is left for you to fill in). Feel free to make your own modem sound noises as you scroll on by. No secret here, that I can go on and on about the early web days. It’s no desire to wind clicks […]
With a bit of uncertainty on the exact date, I am fairly sure tomorrow marks a milestone making me eligible to apply for a bronze medal from the Joslin Diabetes Center. That means making it to 50 years living with Type 1 Diabetes (at least doubling the scare tactic Dr Silver at Camp Glyndon tried […]
The best things in web serendipity are unforeseen. That’s the only way it works. It’s all because of rug shampooing. Back in 2017 at the house in Arizona, I decided to get the old whitish carpet steam cleaned, actually paying someone to do it and not futzing with those rental ones. I piled the furniture […]
August 27 loomed… and now passes by on the calendar. Flip, another year. This one marks 19 years since my Dad passed away. A flip the bird to stomach cancer. And then 10 years later to the day, Mom succumbed to a heart attack. The same day. Not a coincidense. Just marked here with another […]
