Happy Birthday Ana! Published January 4, 2005

Today is Ana’s 5th Birthday. She was born on January 4th, 2000, so it’s always easy to remember how old she is!


Happy New Year Published January 2, 2005

I hope everyone had a good holiday season. I know I did. I took two weeks off of work and have been having a great time with my wife. Ana’s been gone these last two weeks and I really missed her, but she’ll be home tomorrow and then I can give her the presents I got her for Christmas. She’s going to get some more presents on Tuesday when she turns five.

Mom Published December 16, 2004

I got a call from Mom tonight. She had to get new platelets today but her white blood cell count doubled. She told me that if everything goes well, they may let her come home on Monday! Since she received her new stem cells, they consider her to be “born again” so that means that she is a whopping eight days old today. We had a good talk tonight and she sounds like she’s doing better.


Headaches Published November 19, 2004

I’m not doing so well. It seems that every day-some home from work, I have a killer headache and a desire to just fall asleep. I’m starting to think there is something wrong with me. Maybe there’s too much Stress in my life, or maybe I’m just getting Sick. I just wish it would be over.It’s getting nard to get work done. The tablet does make it easier though; I can stretch out on the couch and get some work done.


Tablet PC Experience Published November 5, 2004

I’m writing this post from my Tablet PC that the University bought me. It was sitting on my desk when I came into work this morning and I immediately started fiddling around with it. It is definitely going to take some getting used to but I’m very happy with how easy it is to use. It does a decent job with the handwriting recognition, and it also has voice recognition which will be very useful for me.

Congratulations Anita and Jeremy Published October 17, 2004

Anita and Jeremy were married today at Dover Lutheran Church outside of New Auburn. It was a very nice ceremony. I had a great view from where I sat, playing the music. Anita had asked me a few months ago if I would play, and I said yes, not really realizing how much work it would be. I’m glad I did it though. Everything went well, and it was the least I could do.


27 Published October 5, 2004

I turned 27 today. It was a very low-key birthday. I went to work and solved some big problems that have been bugging me for the last few days. We all did lunch at Mogie’s to celebrate. Every time I go there, I’m reminded that I need to go there more often. When I came home from work, I spent time with Ana and then watched the VP debate with my dad who stopped over to visit.
