Last weekend my mother was visiting. We ended up spending much of the visit just relaxing, went out to dinner a couple of times, I introduced her to Firefly and she ended up borrowing Tru Calling after she started watching it while I was working on Monday. We did end up heading down to the […]

Christmas 1984
December 24th, 2009 by pleia2
This is my second Christmas living by myself. I’m fortunate enough to have friends who have invited me to Christmas festivities both last year and this one so I didn’t need to spend the holiday alone. In spite of not being a Christian, the secular angle of this holiday was important when I was younger. […]

Sisters, pink Wiimotes

My sister’s flight left yesterday morning, luckily no delays this time! The night before we were at the North Coventry mall when Nita gave us a call to see if we wanted to hang out with her and her sister. Yes! So they came over and we all went out to dinner, where this photo […]

May 25th, 2009 by pleia2
Sad that I just posted about my fixed car and now I’m talking about it being broken! Yesterday I decided to take my little sister down to Philadelphia for the day and to meet some of my friends. Another friend of mine is in town visiting, so the plan was to swing by and pick […]

My sister’s flight finally came into PHL Friday night around 11:30, so by midnight we were taking 76 through the city to head back to my apartment. I had planned on pizza that evening, but arriving back around 1AM left us with the options of a local diner or Wawa. Wanting her to have the […]
Git, Star Trek, firewall fail and sister
May 8th, 2009 by pleia2
Wednesday night I skipped down to Philly for an amazing pollo y papas burrito at MexiCali Cafe and then over to PLUG for Kyle Burton‘s Intro to Git talk (slides are on his talks page). Great presentation, and in an interesting twist of fate, while sitting at the meeting I received an email from my […]
The rest of my stay in Florida
December 16th, 2008 by pleia2
Since I wasn’t flying out until Thursday evening, I had a few days to spend with family, which was nice. My mother flew back to Maine Wednesday morning, and that same day my some of my relatives took my grandfather out looking at dogs. He had decided that he’d start looking, and stopped at a […]

Grandma Flynn
December 4th, 2008 by pleia2
My mother’s mother, my Grandma Flynn, passed away this evening. It was somewhat unexpected. She’s had emphysema for several years, but recently it began to catch up with her and she deteriorated very quickly. Last night she was brought to the hospital and she passed away this evening. I received a call from my mother […]
