  • Caller ID Callback

    I got a call this afternoon from a number which my phone displayed as coming from Baltimore. Maryland. Not sure why I picked it up, but I did, fully expecting yet another spam call. As usual with these calls, when I do answer them, I used my standard Jing Hau! greeting. On the other end,…

  • losing grip

    These days, it feels like I’m losing my grip. Sometimes I don’t see her until night time, bed time, just enough time to say goodnight. In the mornings, she’s got zero period, so she’s out the door before sometimes I’m out of bed. Her math topics are starting to get away from me… I remember…

  • Harold Pays Attention

    We were playing around with Google Translate after doing a few lessons of Duolingo. After lessons, Harold likes to put in different, funny phrases and then listen to how they sound in lots of different languages. It can be belly-laugh material! Here’s what Harold dropped in there today: Donald Trump is a big poopy head,…

  • Snow Week 2019 – Day 1

    We packed up in the morning Friday, Rita was really deep into the thick of planning the meals, Rob was wrapping up work while watching the weather reports and road conditions on Highway 4. Reports came in that the Colletts might not be coming up that day due to car trouble, possibly something about their…

  • Running Wrap Up 2018

    According to Strava, I was comfortably past my running distance goal of 400 miles for all of 2018. I show a total of just over 412 miles, which is great, and just a little more than last year.<br />n<br />n<!– s9ymdb:84 –><img width=’387′ height=’182′ style=”border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;” src=”https://www.jaworskihouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/misc/2018_goal_from_strava.png” alt=”my goal results” /><br…

  • Trailer Demo

    I started the trailer demo yesterday. Though cloud bursts interrupted the work occasionally, I was able to easily bust out the rotted wood deck. Since dark threatened to come quickly, cleanup was the next order of business. Circular saw in hand, I cut up all the boards into bite size pieces and stacked them at…

  • Growing with iMentor

    Today was our fourth “pair event” with the <a href=”http://imentor.org” title=”eye mentor dot org”>iMentor</a> program at James Lick High School in San Jose. Every time we have one of these events, I grow a little bit. I get exposed to different things, things outside my usual sphere of existence, and things slightly outside my comfort…

  • running goal 2017

    Not sure if I mentioned it wide and far enough, but for 2017, I met my running goal. The goal, same as for the prior year, was 400 miles, and this year, I came in at about 403. Last year, I hit well over 500.<br />n<br />nWorks for me, I hit my goal! Happy new…

  • Car Talks

    We live about two miles away from Harold’s elementary school, where where have to cross a freeway and negotiate four traffic lights and three four-way stops. There are enough obstacles such that we give him a ride to school every day.<br />n<br />nSometimes, I wish we lived further from school. Some days, we end up…

  • A First: Paying Her Way

    At the last minute yesterday, after I completed a 4 mile run from Forbes Mill to the Dam, and after assessing the uncongested condition of southbound highway 17 through LG, we decided to head over the hill and spend the day at the boardwalk.<br />n<br />nWe go there once, maybe twice a year, and it’s…
