Since I’ve had over a month between trips and MJ has been working a lot, I hunkered down these past few weeks and did my best to catch up with a lot of the little stuff that slips during times of intense travel schedules. It hasn’t all been easy though, I’ve been working with my […]

And it’s February on the home side
February 4th, 2014 by pleia2
Work and projects have certainly kept me busy, but I’ve also had time for home, self and family things. Caligula wasn’t the only one who had some dental work done, both MJ and I had to go in at the end of January. I was reminded the hard way that Novocaine upsets my stomach, but […]
South Florida trip
December 31st, 2013 by pleia2
Everything came together really nicely in the planning for this Florida trip. We stayed with MJ’s cousin at their beach house in Hollywood, so we were able to spend several meals with them during our stay. It was a great opportunity for me to get to know them better. Our flight came in slightly delayed […]
9 years ago today
December 7th, 2013 by pleia2
December 7th is a tough day for me, it was on this day in 2004 that I lost my father. It was expected after a long illness, but nothing quite prepares you for this kind of thing. My father inspired my love of learning and pursuit of productive hobbies, especially geeky ones. In April of […]

Since we had our wedding on the east coast we decided to also host an event on the west coast for friends here, many of whom couldn’t make it across the country for the wedding itself. It took some time to plan, but last Saturday we finally had our event! We ended up going with […]

November 12th, 2012 by pleia2
I left home on October 10th and went on a whirlwind tour that brought me to Accra, Copenhagen and finally Philadelphia – 3 continents! The weekend I went from Copenhagen to Philadelphia was an extremely long one. I left Copenhagen on a 6AM flight on Saturday, connecting with a 3 hour layover in Frankfurt (my […]
The rest of our Maine trip

Our trip to Maine continued on Friday with a trip back to my hometown of Cape Elizabeth to give MJ the grand tour of where I grew up. We drove past the first house I grew up in in Cape Elizabeth, past the schools and the town center and then down to the Two Lights […]
Travel to Maine and meeting Xavier
July 6th, 2012 by pleia2
On Tuesday night I managed to get a few hours of sleep before MJ woke me up at 3AM to get ready to leave at 4AM for our 6AM flight out of San Francisco to Manchester, NH via Philadelphia. The flights were uneventful, we picked up our rental car in Manchester and made the drive […]

This evening my youngest sister, Annette, gave birth to Xavier Carl Krumbach at 5 lbs 14.8 oz and 20in long. I’ve been checking in on Facebook all day to see the updates, and spoke with my mother earlier in the day to see how it was all going. All went well, she was in labor […]

Super Princesses, presentations and anniversary
July 3rd, 2012 by pleia2
I’ve been going to the movie theater more than usual lately, and still have at least one movie on my list to see. Two of the ones I saw last week stood out for their super princess power (and passing the Bechdel Test): Brave and Snow White and the Huntsman. Both movies centered around a […]
