What's it like being an Uncle?

Well, it's pretty cool. There are all sorts of things that I understand now that I didn't understand before - like why Uncle Phillippe would have spent an entire afternoon, when it was sunny outside, to teach a seven year old about division.

I'm still grateful to him.

I look forward to being able to talk to Liam. At the moment he sleeps and eats and poops. Mark assures me that he also pees; my mother assures me that he cries.

Speaking of my mother, she was on TV last night on the Discovery channel! I don't know how it went, but presumably it was fine. Leroy Sievers is Ted Koppel's executive producer and has been battling cancer for a long time. He has a blog about cancer and my mother and sister posted on his blog for a long time.

Discovery put together a show based on Leroy's blog and led by Ted Koppel; it's apparently a special edition of a regularly scheduled Ted Koppel show called Koppel on Discovery. In any event, it was on very early this morning, 0100 my time, or about 8pm EDT.

I haven't seen it yet; no one I know gets Discovery. But my mother has a DVD copy and so I'll see it eventually.

Today is a Bank Holiday in Scotland so my place of employment is closed; what would you do with a windfall of leisure?

Well, I'm headed to Glasgow to hang out with Ingrida, a friend of mine who's going to the University of Strathclyde. Glasgow's a rainy city, much rainier than Edinburgh, and I'm not cheered by the idea of the rain, but that's where Ingrida is so that's where I'm going.

Nae, it's on again tonight, too. Do you want to be called Uncle Puika? It can be arranged.

Now, Uncle Puika, where are the gazillion photos you took while you were here, eh?!?!

Basil and I watched last night. Your maman got as much air time as Lance Armstrong! She looked wonderful and was so eloquent during her interviews. And Rachael looked a little teary-eyed when they showed your mom and dad and sister in the audience. It was amazing.

I didbn't actually get to see all of it because we saw a commercial free cut rather than the aired version- and there were some sound difficulties. We missed a lot of the bit with Lance(cause now I'm on a first name basis with all these famous people...actually, it's like they're real and therefore the last name can be dropped)- but all of the bits with mum we saw. It was great fun!

I am glad your are visiting Ingrida at school. What is she taking now.? Or am I missing something. Why is Glasgow rainier than Edinburgh

Hello, Mr Dornbrook!

I'm studying Economics and Business Law, and just about to take exams.

It rains more in Glasgow because of the topography in Western Scotland. Although Edinburgh is only 70 km away, it is considered Eastern Scotland, which sparks a bit of rivalry between the two cities.

I really like it when Nathan comes to visit me!

Take care,

Ingrida

Nate,

I am going to Iraq again, this time for up to a year. I started a blog at http://prose-and-khans.blogspot.com/

I could have sworn I already posted this, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm going to Iraq again, this time for as long as a year. Here's my blog I just started.

Later, Nate.

Thanks Ingrida,
Hope you do well on your exams. I am so glad my exams are done. I just need to do continuing education stuff to maintain my license for respiratory care. They audit us every three years or so to make sure we are doing what we need to.
Hope Nathan won't get too wet there as he either shrinks or grows when wet. I can't remember which now. It's been too long since I saw him wet.

I really appreciate this amazing post that you have provided here. I am certain this would be valuable for many of your visitors and frequent visitors.

It appears even a pro just like me can still learn a few things. Many thanks for your post.

1842: Jean Philippe made the first clock that can be rolled up and attached by a crown – something that all mechanical watches are now.

Some manufacturers of sports swiss rolex watches around the problem by conditioning the GPS receiver on a bracelet that is simply a GPS unit mounted on adjustable elastic band.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

One other thing I would like to say is that rather than trying to fit all your online degree courses on days and nights that you complete work (since most people are tired when they get home), try to have most of your lessons on the week-ends and only a few courses on weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your weekend break. This pays off because on the weekends, you will be much more rested plus concentrated on school work. Thx for the different guidelines I have mastered from your site.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

I have recently started a website, the information you offer on this site has helped me greatly. Thank you for all of your time & work.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I was just seeking this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your website. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that don't rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top web sites are full of garbage.

Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It if truth be told was a amusement account it. Glance complex to more delivered agreeable from you! However, how can we communicate?

Good website! I really love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I'm wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a great day!

I'm a teenager and I heard that you can actually get paid for things like this. I'm experienced with computers and have good literature skills and I'm sure I can write successful blogs/articles.. . On a different (sort of) topic, would I be able to join affiliate programs?.

Good write-up, I am regular visitor of oneˇ¦s site, maintain up the excellent operate, and It's going to be a regular visitor for a lengthy time.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

I am unequivocally certain they on impute to lots of unusual articles in your blog than anybody else!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

But wanna remark that you have a very decent site, I the pattern it actually stands out.

Just a smiling visitor here to share the love (:, btw great style . "He who will not reason is a bigot he who cannot is a fool and he who dares not is a slave." by Sir William Drummond.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

But wanna admit that this is handy , Thanks for taking your time to write this. "The cost of living is going up and the chance of living is going down." by Flip Wilson.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Hey there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to look it over. I'm definitely loving the information. I'm bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Exceptional blog and superb design and style.

Really no matter if someone doesnít know after that its up to other people that they will help, so here it takes place.

Hi there, I discovered your site by means of Google whilst searching for a similar matter, your site came up, it appears to be like great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
