=)

Dunno if i did this right..

Ok so I just spent the last hour trying to get a picture on my profile, pretty sure I screwed everything up, so now I am just going to try to post a picture on a blog. (sidenote - wasn't until about 4 minutes ago that I realized there was a differennce between the two) Let me know if it worked...

Getting Serious

My Dears,
As elder statesperson, I would like to ask you a serious question. I seem to be at a place where I am remembering lots of adventures of my life with Felix, your father or grandfather. Would it be of interest to you to read about vignettes from our travels together, for instance? A few of the stories some of you may know; many would probably be new to you.
What I don't know is whether this sort of thing is something you would enjoy reading, or whether it would be like an older person's ramblings - tolerated to be polite. What say you?

Love,
Western Sage

Refrigerator as scrapbook:

I think most of you own digital cameras. What's on your refrigerator door?

(Hint: to upload pictures, click on the "Blogger" logo at the top right of the screen. After you're logged in, you should see a "blogs" box with a "New Post" link. That blog entry screen has an icon to upload pictures.)

Edit: The Blogger logo's at top LEFT. I still can't get used to living where the ocean's on the wrong side. It throws me completely off.

Fröhliches Weihnachten, Kameraden

Better?

(Now, does anyone know how to get permanent marker off of a fridge door?)

Hello, all. I finally got in gear to enter this friendly competition. The hardest part was accepting the idea of addressing my youngest son as Uncle Matt. Oh, well, I've accomplished harder things in my life.

Merry Christmas to all, and lots of good nights.
Love, Western Sage

Lets Just see here.

Well, I already feel like I am behind on this whole blog thing - no one told me we got to have cool names! On that note - East Coast Kulkas, you DO realize that MY nickname is Sasha? Sasha Pain deAss to be exact. Molly is Todo Pain DeAss, I think Pete is Major Pain DeAss. Curtosy of The Car Guys, talk radio for those who don't know. I can't remember the rest of our names, one would have to ask my father. Oh - my mom is Stella Pain DeAss. Anyway any time I call and ask for something (Daaaaaaaaad my car sounds funnnyyyy....) he just calls me Sascha.

Ok well I think I have rambled on enough for now, thanks for setting this up, it would be really great to get to stay in touch.

Oh and I have a really great wedding picture for you Uncle David and Cholada, maybe I will try to find a way to post it...give me some time though :)

Love
Emily Small

Ashley Joins In.

Kulkas: Ashley K responded to my prompting with this post. Unfortunately, she put it in as a comment to an existing topic instead of a new topic. I think if she had been accessing the web site with her cell phone she'd have cracked the administrator's account by now. We'll see. Anyway, here's her post:

I got an email from old guy who told me about this site, or reminded me rather. I hope everyone is doing well. I just got done with my first final, and I didn't even have to use my great BSing skill (too much). Aside from that, it just started snowing hard while I was in my exam, and as I had just came into to the test from practice, I was in flip flops. Bad call. It's okay though, because now I can wear my manly-looking snow boots and none of my roommates can make fun of me. My dad suggested that I post some swimming photos, so I'll try to do that. We are doing well this year. 4-0 so far, and my butterfly is coming along quite nicely. Merry Christmas!

This is Mr. or Mrs. Rocky

This is a good chance for me to post "Rocky" picture to show everyone how cute he/she is. So far, we still are not sure that what status he/she is. Next from him/her is Mrs. Waffle. Recently, we call her "grandma" because every day she sleeps and farts. Sorry, I didn't mean "Mom" but "Neill" may be (just kidding).

I want to remind everyone, please apologize me if I use incorrect grammar. There are no grammar check program on Mac in English out there except in Zulu language.

Run Run Rudolph!

I hear from David that he and Cholada are going to see Chuck Berry in St. Louis shortly. I can't believe he's still performing, but I'm glad to hear it. Neil Young would be so proud. (Younger generation: Who can guess the reference?)

Just last week at church the band started singing Christmas music. As a coincidence, the first number was "Run, Run, Rudolph." I really was hoping the guitar player was going to jump out front and do the duck walk. The bass player is my age, but everyone else in the band is probably too young to know what that looks like. Ah, youth. What can they possibly have to replace it? A mosh pit? Sure, tell me about it.

David and Cholada, I see that one or the other of you has joined. if you get any good pictures of old Chuck, please feel free to load some up here for the rest of us.


Merry Christmas,
Matt
