Beyond this, Day 278

I found out today that my step-mother's mother, Danira, passed away. She had been battling cancer over the past year and her body finally had had enough. I only met her a couple of times, but she left a lasting impression. Having lived in Germany, but being originally from Croatia, our verbal communication was limited to smiles and hugs or having Andrea, my step-mom, translate for us. She made the most marvelous apricot dumplings I have ever tasted.

Email versus snail mail, Day 277

Nicolai wanted to type an email to his friends Jason and Spencer today. The only problem is that he doesn't know how to spell, and they don't have email addresses...but that didn't seem to stop him. I don't usually let him play on my computer, but today I made an exception. I really want him to learn how to write the old fashioned way before he is addicted to a computer screen. I plan to do some research on how the brain works differently when writing with a computer versus a pen and paper. The two processes are very different to me and I really want to know if there is any scientific evidence that supports this....to be continued.

Roddy, Day 276

I had coffee with my wonderful friend Roddy this morning. He arrived at the coffee shop ahead of me and scoped out a table with the best natural light. I first sat where he is sitting and he took my picture and then we switched so that I could take his. To all the patrons in the coffee shop I am sure we looked a bit strange playing musical chairs, but to us it was just part of the ritual we perform while hanging out together.

Interview, Day 274

Tick tock, Day 273

Today was another day where the hours passed by so quickly and I was left at the end of it feeling a bit anxious about not having taken enough photos. Gerald is sick, so we drove to Walgreens to buy him some cold medicine and I happened to park the car in front of this sign. It made me laugh because it related so well (in my opinion) with yesterday's image.
