Miss You Mom!
Good morning! It's our kids last week of school. Later this week we have Abby's graduation! But for now it's the usual: get the trash out to the curb, get the girls to school, the long commute to work, Michelle droppin' the boys off and teaching her fitness class... In other words: a Monday.
Is anyone really surprised? Almost half of Twitter brand profiles followers are 'robots'
Got the girls dropped off at their schools and head down to Boxborough. Got a CD from Lighthouse recently. I've been getting them for a few years now, but this month's was the most moving to me. Entitled “Trust in the Lord,” it couldn't have been better timed.
Today has a bit of a bittersweet memory for me. It would have been my mom's 65th birthday today. "Officially" a senior. This is her first birthday that she's gone from us. We all miss you mom! Please continue to intercede for us still here. Larger photo…
Just read some internal research on our graphics engine vs. Imagination Technologies (i.e.. that used in the iPhone/iPad). Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Yes, the iPad has weaknesses despite Apple's Reality Distortion Field... The beauty is that the competition makes us both strive to improve, generation after generation.
Been smiling at the Awkward Catholic Moments meme on Twitter…
Ever since I was a young boy going to Catholic grade school, I had learned that my patron saint was St. Edward the Confessor. I didn't realize he was buried in Westminster Abbey, now owned by the Church of England. Another tragedy of the split back in 1534 by King Henry VIII.
Left work a bit early. Caught up on news with my dad the first half of the drive home and listened to Fr. Pacwa the rest of the way. Went straight to Golds Gym for tonight's Definition and Step classes.
When I got home I was a bit nervous because the van was gone. But... Michelle was home. Michelle's sister Maria took our two girls shopping at Kohls. Evidently Claire was a bit jealous that Abby went yesterday while Claire was working, so Maria took both of 'em tonight.
Just wrapped up an 8 o'clock conference call with my San Diego peers. Yawn! And I hear our girls are back from shopping. Michelle put the boys to bed with their prayers since I had the call to attend.
“Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven.
Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” — Matthew 5
