Manny, Manny, Manny

You may or may not know that I’m a Red Sox fan. I don’t blog about them often (actually, ever) – but I have to try to sort through my feelings about “The Manny Trade” and figured this might be a good way to do it.
So … right now we’re hearing that he’s been traded [...]

Proud

You’d think as a parent, I’d be writing about my kids with that title, but nope. I’m writing about my big brother
Jim participated in his first triathlon over the weekend. The Heart Of Dixie Triathlon to be exact. He had to do a 0.5 mile swim, a 27 mile bike ride, and [...]

Confession

I have a confession to make. I can’t spell. (Are you now thinking, “Didn’t I read somewhere that she’s a technical writer?”) Yep. That’d be right. I’m a technical writer who can’t spell. Spell Check has saved my life (and my job!) Shhhhh! Don’t tell my boss!!
I only use Firefox as my browser because it [...]

THAT Family Tree Society!

You may or may not have noticed the THAT Family Tree Society button to the right of my posts. Well, this week we are honored (?? heh) to say … it’s all about US!! That’s right – the Zimmer Zoo is the family in the spotlight today. Head on over and check it out: That [...]

PB – Maggie’s Second Hospital Visit

It’s another slow day, so I thought I’d write about yet another thing I know I would have written about had I been blogging when it happened So – this is “Pre-Blog” or PB. To see why I’ve been writing PB posts, see this post.

This happened in January…and again, even though I KNOW she’s [...]
