This is mostly for Kris, because she’s my Garden Consultant – but anyone is welcome to answer. What are these flowers? I picked some last year and put them in a vase, I figured they were weeds and didn’t care because they were pretty. Kris saw the vase photo and became interested. They grow all […]

Some days I love the internet. Just yesterday I posted the entry about “Some Krumbach Family History” and this morning I received an email from K. Jacob Ruppert, the great-great grandson of the Jacob Ruppert, Sr. who founded the Jacob Ruppert Brewery. How cool is that? He emailed me to tell me he saw my […]

Cab Fryes (and goodbye MJ!)
April 29th, 2007 by pleia2
MJ, close friend of ours who attended our wedding, is moving out to California for work. It’s a great opportunity but I can’t help feeling sad that he’s leaving. Another “real life” friend turning into mostly just an “online friend” – arg :) He said we can come out and stay with him in San […]

Some Krumbach Family History (there is beer in my blood!)
April 29th, 2007 by pleia2
I’m not the type to take a lot of pride (or shame) in what my distant relatives have done. I this sheds light onto one of my only “beliefs”: that we’re born into the families we’re born into simply by chance. As such we shouldn’t take too much pride out of what our ancestors did, […]

April 24th, 2007 by pleia2
Last night I didn’t feel like eating in so Michael suggested we go out for sushi. We hadn’t been out for sushi in ages. There was a sushi place down in Jenkintown that we used to go to, but the last few visits have not impressed us much – I guess the neighborhood is just […]

Reading
April 23rd, 2007 by pleia2
Last year I only read a half dozen books. That’s like a drought to me, when I think back on the year I want to say “I didn’t read anything last year!” and frown. Looking back I had a lot going on last year, between work (full time + contract), planning a wedding, and diving […]

I got at 5AM this morning, far too early. But I was in one of those wonderful moods where I should clean out my inbox and catch up with things and mails I tend to put in the “this is an easy/fun little thing, I’ll do it later when I’m unwinding” category. It’s surprising how […]

Misc

I haven’t felt like writing lately, but I have to mention a few things. My graphics card died this morning. SUCK. I have an old ATI card in my computer for the time being. Hopefully I can get a replacement soon, I miss my 1600×1200 dearly and the whole machine is slowed down by this […]
