    part 2...He has his trains running; built platforms for them; got little trees, light up houses at JoAnn's Fabric...I had to chuckle at that one. I took Brooke a stuffed singing snowman; she loved it; has a big jingle-bell hat; it's quite entertaining. She carried it around and hugged it and was so cute. It will fit the season since the big snow storm is predicted...ekkk...of course, they are looking forward to taking her on her first sledding excursion. My son headed for a grocery store not far from his house about 20 to 10; he came back laughing, conveying to us that he had confronted the grocery man, asked him if a nuclear boom had fallen - he said the aisles virtually empty...he was too funny telling us his rendition. So, is snow predicted up there as well. My mother tried to tell me they are predicting 20" here....I will believe that one when I see it! haha....the weathermen are always wrong anyway.

    Wow, I like yours better; where did you find it? Just came back from Sean/ Michelle's; had a great visiting them and especially with Brooke; she has been getting Hanukkah presents each day. I asked her to show me her Christmas trees (they have two up) and she nods her head - so funny. I said "now can I see your presents...again a big nod "yes"...then she took me to see her toys. We read a book together and she had to have me read it over about 6 times - shades of her father; I read "Curious George" so many times I stopped counting. She cuddled with me on the sofa; I have to tell you, being a grannie is the greatest thing I have ever known; well, asside from becoming a mom. It was fun visit. My son was proud of all his decorations. He did a great job!

    Thanks Virgil, you're a really good guy (and I mean that). I like to debate, but I never lose respect for people who have a different opinion then me (the debate never leaves the thread). I usually actually like my debate partner a lot more afterwards because they present meaningful arguments that make me think. Debating about religion and philosophy again and again does get super boring though, I see your point there.

    Yeah, the profile has gotten a few compliments.

    That's so kind of you to think of me, Virgil! School is going much better for me this year, thank you. I hope you had a lovely birthday

    Hey Virgil, I hear you've not been well. Hope you're feeling better now. Well enough to vote in the short story contest, perchance? http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=48195

    I am about as well as can be expected, thank you. It is nice that you think of quasi. I have overwhelmed myself with reading projects, unfortunately

For those of us who were regulars here on Lit Net many years ago and remember Janine, I'm saddened to report that on November 27th, 2018, our dear friend passed away. She was 68 years old. Eternal rest grant unto Janine, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

Matthew and Shakespeare

by Virgil on 12-18-2017 at 10:01 PM
Let me copy this over from my personal blog. Matthew is my son and you can go back into my past blogs to learn more about him and our adoption. Anyway he's eight years old now. This happened the other day.

OK, I was reading a Shakespeare play (Henry VI, Part 1) out of my big complete volume containing all of Shakespeare’s plays and poetry. The binding is literally at least six inches thick, and is about eight by ten in dimension. It’s a big book.

New Family Member: Tiger

by Virgil on 05-24-2015 at 09:25 PM
Those that know me here know that my wife and I have been dog people all our lives, but last week Matthew and I stumbled upon a little kitten beside our house and of course found him irresistible. We now have a kitten to add to our rambunctious dog and hyperactive son. I posted a summary on my personal blog, but here are the first two paragraphs:

Of course this was completely unplanned. Thursday, May 14th (I date it for posterity’s sake) after dinner at about half past six Matthew

My 2014 Reads

by Virgil on 01-31-2015 at 10:38 PM
Hi all

I haven't been on in a while. I think I last mentioned we had a new pup in the family, and she has been a handful. I don't remember my other pups driving us crazy like this one. So since my wife was with her all day, I had to give up part of my evenings to releave her and stay with the dog. Evenings after work is my usual computer time, and there was no way this pooch was going to let me be.

Then just after Christmas my computer went bonkers and after looking

A New Addition to the Family

by Virgil on 10-07-2014 at 08:57 PM
Well, we've enlarged our family with a new four legged member, a black Labrador Retriever pup. She's special, and just as cute as can be. I can't remember how to upload pictures here on Lit Net, so if you're interested, come by my Ashes blog to see:

And actually you can see the breeder's litter of pups at an earlier post, posted before we were able to select one.
