Winter weather in eastern Pennsylvania has been all over the map. It started early, eased up when it was supposed to be the worst, and smacked us down late. It isn’t over yet, but we’re on the “right” side of the trend!
So much doing on that I just never got around to writing. Friends on [...]
Yep, summer is over (and mother nature is putting an exclamation point on that).
The kids are back to school and sports are in full swing. The SMS soccer team has had four contests so far but today was the first opportunity for me to get any pictures. SMS beat up pretty badly on Notre Dame [...]
Summer has been busy in a very good way. We just returned from our family vacation at Long Beach Island. As always heartfelt thanks to Bob and Kathy Miller for their extraordinary hospitality in letting us stay in their beach home. We had a great time and the weather was fantastic. Water temps in the [...]
Baseball is over, School is over, Time to relax…
OK, Maybe not! Last weekend we were supposed to go to Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, but bad weather put that plan on the shelf. No point in going to watch WWI Aircraft fly (or more correctly NOT fly) in thunderstorms. Instead we packed up and headed to The [...]

I completed the 45th year of my journey through life yesterday. With a little luck and planning I’ll have AT LEAST that much farther to go in good health. I suppose with all the Heinlein I read as a youngster I’ve got a small hope I might just live long enough to live “forever”. Just [...]
My grandmother Mary Moreland passed to her final resting place on Monday, after a short battle. She had 91 years of energy and love filled life. Adored by many, she left a large legacy of family to carry on. Her obituary is here.
She will be missed.
Ah, spring… Time for too many things to do at once!
Typical spring weekend. It started out Friday evening with William going on a camping trip with Scouts. I chose not to go on this one, owing more than a little to the fact that I had not yet even looked at my taxes. There was [...]
I have to admit I was scared.
You see, I’ve been to India, three times in fact, and I’ve seen the transportation system first hand. The chaos of Chennai airport, the insanity of city traffic, the “delivery” system of 2-cycle carts, trucks, and ox driven wagons. So, boxing up my dad’s 50 year old slides, irreplaceable [...]
It has already been a big week for the Walsh household. Mom celebrated her 70′th birthday on Friday. Unfortunately she is still stuck in rehab but she should be home soon!
Tonight was a big event for William, he had his Confirmation service for church. Pictures of him, his cousin Tara and his buddy Adam in [...]
