Nancy and I slept in today and were generally lazy in the morning but this afternoon I got off my duff and took the kids to the swimming pool. Diana wanted to go swimming but she can’t get her incision wet for another couple of weeks yet so she was bummed when we told [...]

No Phone
Today Nancy called me on my cellphone and told me that our land-line phone was dead — no dial tone. (She called from her cell phone) I got a little bit worried because I ran my own phone lines so if there is a problem with the phones I can’t just call [...]
Surgery Report
It’s taken me a few days to get back in the swing of posting after taking a leave of absence for Diana’s surgery. Here is a pictorial timeline of the surgery with a few comments:
On Thursday morning we got up bright and early and headed to the hospital. Diana was scheduled as the [...]
Sugery Prep
Today we went to Primary Children’s Medical Center for blood tests, chest x-rays, and pre-checkin for Diana’s surgery tomorrow. Her surgery is scheduled for 7:30 a.m and will likely last 3 or more hours. She’ll be in ICU for at least 24 hours after the surgery and possibly more depending upon how things [...]

South Jordan Residents Angry About Planned Power Outage
Tomorrow is expected to be the hottest day of the year. For some though, it’s going to feel even hotter. That’s because the power is going to be cut off for thousands of people in the South Jordan area. That means no air conditioning, or even electricity for [...]
Piano Recital
Emily and Anne had their piano recital this evening. One thing I like about this teacher is that she makes the kids memorize the pieces and she makes them bow. Both Emily and Anne did a pretty good job (a few mistakes here and there). I think they’re progressing fairly well. [...]
RSS Readers
An RSS reader is software that goes out and automatically checks for new updates to websites that publish an RSS feed (usually blogs). It’s a form of syndication. If you look at the very bottom of this blog you’ll see a link to the RSS feed for both new posts as well as [...]
Park Bench
Today Nancy and I assembled one of our park benches after dinner. The assembly was easy and in no time we had a lovely park bench. We put it outside on the flagstone area that I had the landscapers make. The flagstone area wasn’t originally in our plans but they had some [...]
