Both of my girls are gone. Lola left a few months before my precious Camille. I had just gotten used to not having Lola sleeping by my feet and pushing my legs off the edge of the bed until I yelled at her to get out of the bed. She would begrudgingly comply, then climb […]
Stephen and I recently went to the 2013 Detroit Fanfare and while I took a total of zero pictures at the convention itself, I did take one of a very unenthusiastic Stephen before we left. And one as we were leaving. He was in a much better mood. You can really see it because I […]
When Stephen was a little kid, he used to love Thomas and His Friends. It was without a doubt his favorite show. If I yelled out “Stephen, Thomas is on.”, no matter where he was he would come running to the TV. Those days are long gone. Today, I yelled out “Stephen, Thomas is on.” […]
I have been putting actual content in my test messages and this is no exception. This is a picture of my granddaughter. One that I don’t think I have posted before. Isn’t she a cutie?
Yesterday Stephen had a shared birthday party with his cousin Mya, who is a year older. It was at Chuck E Cheese’s and it was a pretty good time. I was tired so I found one spot and stayed there until I was told we had to move out of the party area and head […]

We aren’t positive how old Kimber was. He was a rescue cat that was found in an empty apartment with two other cats. I’m not sure what happened to the other two cats, but Kimber changed hands a couple of times before he came to live with me in 1999. On a continuous basis, he […]
Stephen: Daddy, can I go swimming in a shirt? Me: No, why would you want to? Stephen: Because I don’t want to feel uncomfortable with my body. Me: (very long pause punctuated by me trying not to laugh) Sure, son.
August 16, 1948 – May 22, 2005 DCC Sr and Stephen on Easter 2005. This is the last picture I have of my father.
