It seems almost unreal to imagine that my daughter is 14 years old and much closer to when she flies away from the nest than she used to be! It seems like it was yesterday that we were taking the most notorious picture of her we've ever taken. It was taken two weeks after she was born and the boys are hovering over her where she's laying on a pink boppy pillow. Nicholas was fixated…
Today's excitement came in two waves starting off with the joy of logging onto the credit union's bill paying application and sending a "kiss off" final payment for the Traverse to the rat bastards who bought the loan six months from maturity with very little warning that I've done a couple of deep dives on earlier this year. I can assure you they and that payment will not be missed! Now hopefully they'll keep their…
I'm in the process of resurrecting the content from the old website covering the kids adventures and family (finally made it through 2009!). During the sifting, I found these pictures that I've never published before from a trip I took to NYC in 2009. On the way back home to Garner, I stopped by to visit my Uncle Frank (from the Hungarian side of the family) in South Amboy NJ and enjoyed a nice little…

No way we could stand against Panarin and Zabinejad and the oh-so-mighty goalie combo of Lundqvist and Shestyorkin. I wasn't expecting him to be a fan given his connections to the Bruins and Islanders but if you're going to purport to be an analyst, you need to at least pretend to consider all of the…
Whilst taking a bit of a break from the 'ohana conversion project, I decided to redo sunfox.com so that I'd have somewhere to stick the content from the conversion that truly doesn't belong there like the trip reports where I was the only one traveling or the occasional rant. I've played with a few Genesis-based themes but I think I'm going to stick with Revolution Pro. It's nice, it's minimalist, and for the time being…
Yesterday's adventures included a quick trip to downtown Chapel Hill…on the way back, we decided to wander about Brier Creek and let the Traverse have a vote on our cuisine. Let's just say the "arroz chaufa" with Inka Kola really hit the spot! Then there was this purple corn and pineapple concoction called "chi cha morada" that was very interesting and tasty. The roasted chicken and sides that were shared all round were amazingly tasty…
