Spamtastic: Entry Number One

| December 27, 2003

I figured I would start blogging my fun with the spammers to record some of the tricky things I notice and some of the pain we deal with, mostly so I can look back on it in the years to come, when spam is a thing of the past (I hope). I’ll start off with [...]

Say Cheese!

| December 27, 2003

Evie looks on as Abigail tries to take a picture with an old record player. Eve’s astonished look is proper indeed… “you can’t take a picture with a record player Abby!”.

What is this stuff stuck on my finger?

| December 27, 2003

Unlike many children on their first birthday, Lucas did not seem to enjoy getting frosting all over himself. Of course Abs doesn’t mind and followed shortly after this shot.

Just before cake time

| December 27, 2003

We’re all getting ready to sing “Happy Birthday Dear Lucas” – Mom and Caroline on the left, Me and Abigail and of course Lucas, looking thrilled to be the center of attention (not).

Attempting the impossible

| December 27, 2003

Trying to get all of the kids together for a photo is nearly impossible. This is Lucas’ birthday party and he can apparently cry if he wants to. Just after this picture he fell head-first into the chair at the left. This is the best of 3 pictures I snapped. Oh yeah, Kerri is pictured [...]

Abs at Aunt Mo’s place

| December 27, 2003

This is pre-lunch time, waiting at the kiddie table. I should know by now not to take a picture when facing into the sun.

Jail Talk?

| December 27, 2003

We’re watching Joe’s daighter while he and Leigh Ann go see LOTR: Return Of The King. My daughter and his are both down in separate rooms but neither want to sleep. They’re both talking, reacting to noise from the other’s room, but neither one is making any sense. I immediately thought of how jailbirds must [...]

Virtual PC for the Mac

| December 27, 2003

Ev points to Virtual PC 6.1 for the Mac. Essentially it allows you to run Windows apps on the Mac… it appears to be running Windows directly in emmulation mode. Ev also wonders why MS would produce such a product. It seems obvious to me – MS doesn’t care what hardware you’re using, they sell [...]

Play day

| December 26, 2003

Abs and I are having a play day today. Kerri is working and our daycare facility is closed so we’re hanging out, playing with new Christmas toys and generally getting into trouble. My goal is to be completely free of responsibility until 3pm after which time I suppose I’ll have to start undoing the mess [...]

Christmas 2003

| December 25, 2003

We had yet another great holiday this year, Christmas being the topic for tonight. We spent the morning with cousins Todd and Cheryl at Kerri’s Grandpa’s place. This is our first Christmas without Grandma and it was much more quiet as compared to past years. Abigail kept things moving along. We left Grandpa’s place and [...]
