The kids got home around 5am from the overnight party. Around 9:50am, Danelle and I decided we would go into town and take a walk. Corvin had woken up and asked to join us, so the three of us headed to central San Juan near the cathedral to walk. Sonora stayed back to rest in … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 7 – 12/29/2024”
This morning started with sleeping in. We wanted to leave for a bodega (winery) by 10:30am. Danelle and I were up a little after 8am. We got ready and enjoyed the morning, getting Sonora up at 9am so she could shower. But we were all ready and only left a few minutes late. We went … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 6 – 12/28/2024”
My day started at 5:45 worrying if I would miss my alarm. I got up and made coffee, cleaned up, and wrote about our trip. Then 7:45 came and we met Coty’s family. We were on the road by 8am.

Do Argentine people ever sleep? We started off the morning with a quick breakfast at our place with supplies provided the night before.

What can I tell you about a 10 hour flight? It was freaking long. I watched a whole movie and still had time to play games and get horrible sleep in my nearly upright seat. We were in the very back again. The flight attendants had lights in their work area and used the 3 … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 2 – 12/24/2024”

I’ve been a big proponent of office pranks my whole career. As long as the person you’re pranking has a high likelihood of enjoying being pranked and that you do no damage to anybody’s property or person. Earlier this year, I took a screen shot of my boss Erwin during a meeting. I sent it … Continue reading “Office Balloons – 8/8/2024”
What an action packed month. Sonora asked us to show up for the 4th fireworks. We managed to sit on the concrete for the discus ring. Gimli managed to climb up to the rafter in the basement and got stuck. I went out to Danforth to work on a wet day and got the RAV4 … Continue reading “July 2024”
We wanted to meet with the Neimeyer’s before the girls both headed off to college. We decided to meet for bowling. At the first bowling alley we tried, there was a tournament going on.
