A big welcome to my newest granddaughter, Anna. She arrived yesterday morning at about 7:30 am. Mom and daughter are both just fine and are very glad to have finally met. Happy Birthday Anna! Greg
So much going on this week. Much anticipation…. First, and most important, tomorrow we will welcome our newest member of the family – my second granddaughter, Anna. Originally scheduled to arrive on the 22nd, her introduction to the world has been advanced by a few days. She seems to be as impatient to meet us…
We had more snow overnight – just a few inches. Not too unusual for January in the mid-atlantic, I suppose. The last time that we had snow, I saw rabbit tracks just outside our kitchen door – they were there again this morning. I did see a bunny in that area just once last summer…
You live under a corrupt, disorganized government that diverts the aid supplied by the free world into their own pockets, leaving you hungry and staring at a bleak future. You attend a school (financed by the Saudis with our oil dollars) where you are taught that your miserable condition is the fault of the United…
you walk outside into a 28 degree afternoon and because the sun is shining and the howling wind has subsided, you notice how warm it seems…. It’s been a really cold weekend. We had sustained winds of 30-40 mph for days and the temperature never increased to the freezing mark. For those of you in…

Yesterday afternoon, I took my sweetheart to the airport and saw her off for an overnight flight to Rio de Janeiro. She sat next to an empty seat. I had planned to accompany her, as I do every January. I am on vacation this week and I was planning on taking three weeks of my…
Drove back from Mom’s house yesterday. There was a bit of snow on the ground, but the interstates were dry and in pretty good shape. The GPS in the car directed us to take a southern route that saved us about $10 in tolls over the PA turnpike route. We didn’t ask it to do…
Winter officially starts later this week, but the east coast saw our first snow storm overnight. There’s about a foot of snow in my yard. The State of Delaware has declared an emergency because of the snow. I have to find this out on the internet because we’re in Ohio visiting my mom. We arrived…
The picture above is a part of the refinery where I, along with 500 of my good friends, work. The steam you see coming from all of the tall columns is being applied to help clean them up. The hot liquid that condenses inside cleans the vessels and is pumped away from the bottom. A…
