Do you have a favorite poem?


Then i said, he can stop returning, nobody is forcing him to do so.

I run/walk for 20 minutes every morning because I have no time and/or am too worn out at night.

And because I'm not who I'd want to be. I've just gotta ask this because I ponder weird things while at work. And yes, I did get in trouble and had to be escorted back into the hotel by Chris because I was talking on my phone by the beach too loudly to Brad about these mysterious guys from Winnisquam who worked at the Margate and tried to sneak into the reception and get beer and claimed to know both him and Conner and hotel guestablished heard me and complained...

And I do like the phrase, I was just poking you to see what you'd do...

The challenge of coming up with a subject to write about and the practice writing causes you to start noticing things in your day that you would not usually notice.

The rest of the time in Tucson was a fantastic testament to everything vacation can and should be. A lil of everything.

Doug Donates Printer!

We have lift off! Doug, of Marla and Emily's family has donated an HP DeskJet 932c printer for the music computer at Connie's. Thank you very much Doug. Now we can print homework, really. We have AppleWorks and Word on the computer too. Also, we have a calendard program and we can start a calendar and print it. We just need a USB cable for it as I think it already has the printer driver installed. :)

P.S. I tried to find a 'D' word for the title "Doug Donates D... " but couldn't. he he

I've shared the love of stories and hopes and bad news too. It just seems nice to see everyone come together like this. The nicknames, the fun, the bad news and the good news. The birthdays. It is all a wonderful thing. A bright moment in my life. Love, Brian

At Tue Feb 28, 04:06:00 PM EST, Blogger Brian G said...

Happy you asked. I took the small thumbnail view of a recent set of blog photos, did a screen capture. Opened that in Photoshop. Then I opened the Apple Mail program, created a new message using the "Crazy message text" script to get the Honk line. Did a screen capture of that and put that too into Photoshop. Then, in Photoshop itself I added the web address. Done. :) Glad you enjoyed it.

I am so happy she has found someone like you in her life. The letter is a tear jerker!! I am gonna copy it for you. WE love you guys and and thinking of your mom too!!

You girls are so lucky to dance on such a wonderful dance team and it showed! Your mothers were a nervous wreck on Sunday night before the grand champs were announced but I really felt you guys nailed it! CONGRATS!!!

As the Tutu Turns (Thanks Rachel)

Been with family over the past few days and had a great time (still having a great time). So, how did the competition go? And did Andy get home? Answers are needed and wanted by all!

Miss Mara Completes the Set!


Hey Ashely, I noticed your fine compilation of pics for your story below and the only one missing in the 'glow' style was Mara. So here she is! We wish you continued good luck today! (Click pic for larger image. Photo by Brian Ginn.)

P.S. Jessica just rememinded me at 9:30am I already put her on here but I forgot, redid another one of her. But I *know* her mom will like this one better.

Brie, Morgan and Jessica

Today Jessica and I met Mrs. Brie at dance. Morgan was there too. Always nice to see everyone. This was different. We were all there on a Friday! Well, Jessica and Brie finished her solo! Yea and, and I taught Morgan and Brie my special way to wrap cords. Okay, okay, I know you're thinking, what? Well, it really is the single best thing I can teach you. One day I hope to teach everyone!
All the best,
Brian

Miranda now you are confusing me and I was there to learn how to wrap cords in a special way...Brian went on and on about how to wrap the cords and you could tell that it was getting on Jessica's nerves. He told us that al of the cords in his house were wrapped that way.

Breakaway

Somedays are just sublime. Take today, I get in my car, connect my iPod, and then the first song to come on is Jessica's last solo song Breakaway. Then it gets better. I recorded my kids voices on the computer about five or six years ago saying silly little lines. So guess what comes on next, yup, Jessica saying her "I gotta new dress"! Which on that particular day she did indeed get a new dress!
All the best,
Brian

Help ME with all the names!
