Not really sure which tires me more: Taking all of Lailah’s toys, books, playthings (castles, pirate fairies, stuffed animals) out and putting them around the house to make sure she sees them and plays with as many of them as she wants, Playing with Lailah all day long, Collecting everything off the floor after she […]

Lailah – sick!
I’d heard yesterday that “my” little girl (AKA Lailah) was pretty sick, so I knew I probably wouldn’t be seeing her today (her “regular” day with me). Realizing that I saw her on Tuesday has “helped” (somewhat), but I am sure hoping she’s feeling better since it’s really really lonesome here without having her to […]
Religion – a different perspective
A lot of you don’t know me that well, so here is a disclaimer in advance to my posting below: I was brought up Baptist, and my family was “religious” such that we attended church a couple of times each week, all thru elementary, JR and SR high school. That is, until high school ended […]
Lailah – last minute visit!
I had a last minute visit by “my” little girl last night. Her parents had an event to go to and they dropped her off so that she could babysit me. I had gone to Cub (Foods) earlier (yesterday) and I, again, wandered past the small area/aisle of toys (which is really strange, I feel, […]

U/Saint Thomas – Classes – Spring/2015 – part two
Had my first class session for both of my two evening courses this week: SW Architecture was on Monday, and Advanced web app development was tonight. Since I’m also taking a Saturday class (which is a required class), and not wanting to take 3 classes at a time, I must decide on which evening class […]
U/Saint Thomas – classes – Spring/2015 – part one
It “dawned” on me a couple of days ago: Spring session at Saint Thomas is starting (where the heck did January go??) My evening class starts this coming week, and my Saturday class is starting two weeks from today. I had previously (in November) registered for “Software architecture” for Monday evenings, but today I hedged […]
Lailah – My Cup Runneth Over
My cup runneth over this week: Had a great sleep-over with Lailah on Thursday night, she then babysat me all day long on Friday (until her dada came by at 5 PMish to take her home), and I also got a chance to be with her tonight at the Saint Paul Ice Carnival. While walking […]
