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, […]

Sushi, Debian & local linux stuff
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 […]

April 21st, 2007 by pleia2
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 […]

Simcoe
April 20th, 2007 by pleia2
Her favorite toy is a yellow fluffy ball, which she has in her mouth heading for my desk to interrupt me while I’m trying to work! Simcoe and Caligula on a (yep, that’s a cord) electric blanket! Spoiled critters. Simcoe loves the fireplace Mugshot! And yes, as others said over on Michael’s blog, she changed […]

April Snow
April 16th, 2007 by pleia2
It’s snowing. Not some flurries that don’t stick to anything – real actual snow. My poor poor daffodils! My daffodils have had a tough season. They started to come out of the ground back in January when we were having spring-like weather for a few weeks. Then some snow came, then an ice storm, then […]
