We were invited to dinner at a friend’s house last night. There were seven of us all together and I had met all but one of them at least once before. Last time we played a game called Loaded Questions. I remember having to make people repeat things again and again when it was my [...]

There’s been a trend developing over the last few years to offer software applications that you can use from just a web browser. I’m typing in one right now, Wordpress. GMail is another. They have gotten very sophisticated in recent years. Quite a few benefits are provided too. The software [...]

First things first. Music with my cochlear implant is way way beyond my expectations. But I had pretty low expectations.
Seriously, music sounds great now (5 months from activation). The CI adds a whole new layer of sounds that I couldn’t hear before. It helps bring out the lyrics. It adds the higher frequency percussion, cymbals, [...]

Let’s start with a photo:

Where does the time go?
July 4th weekend my parents stopped to visit us here in Charlottesville. I had a band concert that Thursday night and another on the morning of the Fourth of July at Monticello. It’s always moving to see the naturalization ceremony conducted. Last year the guest speaker was the president (which one? not [...]

It’s been a lovely lovely spring the last few days.
The tulips and flocks have been out.
Betsie has been keeping the lawn mowed short. Even the baby white clover I planted for her to chew on is doing great. I just scattered it around by hand – we’ll find out soon if this was a bad idea [...]

One week from now I’ll hopefully be done with surgery and on my way home if not already home. I won’t know what time to report on the 29th until the day before.
Working backwards from there…..
The night before surgery, Don and I will drive down to Chapel Hill and take up residence in the lovely Carolina Inn, [...]

When I lived at the NJ Shore I got into flying ‘power kites’ or ‘traction kites’ on land. These huge airfoils are flown on four lines giving the kite pilot perfect control over their flight path. Flying loops and figure eights is fun, but these kites are designed for Pulling power.
Kite buggying, endlessly more [...]
