Well, I finally got the photos uploaded properly. The Annoying Cousin’s 21st birthday party dinner (a few days late), went off a bit behind schedule due to traffic, but it was a success.Not everyone in these pictures is family, nor do I even know who all of them really are. But a good large selection of my [...]
I’m back from Mammoth, all set to go back to work tomorrow. It was a good trip, though they need more snow. That’s scheduled to arrive starting on Thursday, with an estimated 5 to 10 feet arriving between then and Monday. I’d like to go up skiing with the new powder, but I doubt I’d [...]
My father’s birthday was earlier in the month. However, my mom’s sister was in town last week, so we held a large birthday party last Friday. A few years ago, we had a surprise boat cruise birthday party for my mother. This time, while no surprise, it was a large success. You can view most [...]
After helping Andy move north last weekend, I visited two sets of cousins, one in Washington and the other in Oregon. I had never visited either of them at home before, as they had always been generous to drive south to see me instead. For some reason, I never brought my camera out while I [...]
It’d had been a full year since I’d been to Catalina. Labor Day to Labor Day. After getting a late start, and buying a new battery for the boat, we had a very calm and pleasant boat ride over. Here are some pictures!Â

With a recent spat of computer purchases in the family, we’ve finally gotten around to trying video chatting with Apple’s iChat, and using the AOL/AIM connection. First it was between my brother, myself, and one of our cousins, MrJumbo. Then last night, I was the odd cousin out with Papa Bradstein joining in. However, we [...]
As has been the family tradition the past few years, we were up in Mammoth over Christmas. While I returned home early today, I did get in some skiing on the 24th, and we did a nice little hike on the 25th.

Far too often, extended families do not get together. Growing up, I can remember large family gatherings at my dad’s parent’s house for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sometimes it was held there, other times at another family member’s, however the
thought was always to be a large family gathering. After my paternal grandparents died, there was less [...]
Oh my. Twelve days since my last post. I must be getting lazy.
But not too much has been going on in my end. Work and scouts and that’s about it. I got to buy 330 pounds of frozen squid on Thursday for the boat to use as bait. Kicker was, the bait company closes at [...]
My newest cousin, Baby Boy Bradstein was born last Friday, to my cousin Pappa Bradstein and his wife. Weighing in at 8 pounds, 15 ounces, at 22 inches long.
Go take a look at him!
