?Twas the day after Christmas: they suddenly knew all their friends and their neighbors hadn?t a clue that the big New Year?s bash had been moved to their church (since their not being home to clean left them in a lurch). They were in Boston, snug in sis-in-law?s bed, but visions of chili danced through …

Happy Birthday, Mom!
Happy Birthday, Mom! Today is a somewhat momentous day on my mother’s side of the family. My mom turns 58 today, the same age my granddad was when he passed away after a heart attack. As it turns out, one of my mom’s brothers has been feeling some of the same “uh-oh” symptoms lately. Sigh. …
Been a long time, been a long time, been a….
Been a long time, been a long time, been a… Contrary to what may have been said, I’m not dead. Just tired. Let’s see… My job situation – I still haven’t found one. I am not panicking, not yet. Laureen – she’s OK. Tired a lot, but OK. Our child – we find out the …

When it rains, it snows…
When it rains… In a move that still feels like a kick to the teeth, I was laid off from TI on Tuesday. I don’t really understand why, especially since our group needed people. However, I’m moving on, because there is always another opportunity.

Another day
Another day Lazing around the house today, at least until we get up and go to church to do stuff. All of this weekend seems to be mildly busy, but not ridiculously so. Unless, of course, we account for Labor Day. Really, who came up with the idea for a holiday that celebrates working? Except …
They call me Kevin, Kevin, Kevin…
Something non-war related 1. Thursday marks 10 years of marriage for Laureen and me. 2. I’m still ridiculously in love with her. 3. I have no clue why she puts up with some of the stupid things I do (no, I won’t elaborate on that). We went and saw Blue Man Group at Nextstage last …
Update your address books…
With AT&T getting out of the cable business, our emails have switched at home. The former kandl@attbi.com account is now k_and_l@comcast.net . (Sniff) We had that name for 4 years or so… The former lopey@attbi.com account is now kjlopey@comcast.net . (MEGA-Sniff). Stay tuned. More information might follow. By the way, Here is where we’re going …
No I haven’t fallen off the earth.
Hey there. No apologies for lateness. I’ve been busy.Let’s see: Laureen’s in Houston; she wanted to see that new children’s opera “The Little Prince,” but there are no tickets to be found. She went to Houston for the weekend anyway. My PVR unit’s disk drive had a head crash. For those unfamiliar with geek speak, …
