Grandpa you will be missed!

Sadly my Grandpa Humphrey died this past week. He was a soft spoken kind man who in his 88 years was married for 59 years, fought in WWII, had two wonderful daughters, 5 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren (with 2 more on the way right now!).

We took a four generation photo:

We went to the funeral this past weekend. It was a wonderful service, it was clear he had a lot of people who will miss him.

We were blessed to have my brother Dave fly in from Tunisia. It had been a long time since most of us had since many of us had seen him. Suzanne, David and I figured out that we hadn’t all been together since 1997! Here’s a picture of the three of us to commemorate the event.

These guys are really amusing, have good tips and do some really funny experiments. My favorite of course being this one. Not for the weak hearted…

Thanks Wendy for passing this along.

“I was in Kuwait right after 9/11–after the anthrax scare they shut down the “any service member” mail program, before that we would get stacks of letters from time to time. It was pretty neat to be on that end of it.”

Thanks to Suzanne for passing this along.

Thanks again to Suzanne for pointing out all my ridiculous spelling/grammar mistakes the first time around. I think I counted 4 or 5 mistakes, ack!

With Everything Going On

There is so much going on in the world I am always worried that important stories are going to slip through the cracks and people won’t be discussing things that really matter.

This story is, ummmm, not one of those articles.

This one, on the other hand, is… Go NYC!
