In March we had a demo party to remove the stairs, Mike and Steph came down and we went out. The following weekend was the annual McCarty party. The tenants in the condo moved out after buy... http://xeomage.com/Journal/20130515 Wed, 15 May 2013 16:29:00 I just want to give a brief summary of events to date. Despite Sarah starting a new semester of school we've managed to get some work done on the house. Derek is starting to walk a few steps here and there and saying more words every day. He's up to six... http://xeomage.com/Journal/20130305 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:04:31 As the year draws to a close, I'm going to review some highlights of the last few months. Obviously recapping everything isn't realistic. We took one more camping trip in September to Wyalusing. It was pretty cold and Sarah had to work on a paper for sc... http://xeomage.com/Journal/20121231 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 09:32:28 It's October before an election, and politics is in the air. I've been contemplating things from a couple of different angles trying to reconcile how I feel about them, since I feel a bit conflicted. The first factor is one of social nicety. As our poli... http://xeomage.com/Articles/Core-Beliefs Fri, 12 Oct 2012 10:47:55 The Dunes were fun. The campground is a bit crowded and our site was right by the gatehouse, but it was still a good time. We got in hiking, dune climbing, swimming, and beach time. Sunday my mom met us at the beach and we had lunch. Unfortunately it st... http://xeomage.com/Journal/20120911 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 09:38:32 A couple of site changes to report. First, I've updated the site style sheet. I created this style a long time ago but never got around to finishing it. The style is flatter and has fewer colors, eliminating all the subtle gradients. It's simpler, thoug... http://xeomage.com/Thoughts/New-Style-Sheet Wed, 15 Aug 2012 12:10:16 We got back from Branson late on Saturday. It was a long drive both ways, but we did have a lot of fun. Nicole and Rob brought their boat so we spent some time out on the lake, some time in the pool, went mountain biking and rock climbing, saw The Dark ... http://xeomage.com/Journal/20120814 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 16:21:26 Here's another two months of summarization. Starting with Memorial Day, we went up to Sarah's parents property for the weekend, which was a long drive up. We didn't get there until basically ten at night so we wound up sleeping in the RV the first night... http://xeomage.com/Journal/20120731 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:42:16 It's time for another recap. Derek is growing fast and getting bigger by the day. He's looking more like a toddler and less like a baby, though he isn't yet six months old. Fortunately for us he isn't crawling yet, but he is eating some foods and is ver... http://xeomage.com/Journal/20120517 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:17:26 Wow, already two months since the last update. Let me see if I can summarize the goings on. The purpose of a Journal is to keep track of the things I do, so going back and figuring it out is a worthwhile exercise for me at least. With things being fairl... http://xeomage.com/Journal/20120313 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:48:40
