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.
OK, I am a pretty bad grandfather. My first (and so far only) grandchild had her 1st birthday on March 2, 2009. Unfortunately, last year when I added her birthday to my various calendars, I put down March 3. So not only was a day off, but then I turn around and forgot to put […]
My step-daughter Araya Marie Noe turned 10 on February 13, 2009. Tomorrow, we are taking her to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party.
My mother has taught my grandmother how to get on the internet. At first it was just to read email, but they have now graduated to lessons on Google. Since the first result on a vanity search for “Ansonia Walls” is this site, it is pretty hard to miss. Welcome.
I finally remembered to post birthday wishes on the birthday in question. My brother Devin turns 21 today. Even though his name is Devin Darnell Ponder, I have almost always called him Billy. Before he was born, I was sitting around with my mother and stepfather, talking about names for the baby. My stepfather (who […]
To keep up with the running theme, as a website owner, I am a horrible father. My youngest daughter Jazmyn had a birthday on February 8 and I forgot to blog about it. In my defense, I spent a great deal of the morning with her, so I wasn’t completely neglectful. She turned 19, so […]
As a website owner, I am a pretty bad brother. My younger brother Charles had a birthday on February 3 and although I called him, I completely forgot to announce it on the site. Charles currently lives in Washiington DC, so I don’t get to see him as much as I would like, but as […]
With a lot of my attention focused on the inauguration yesterday, I completely forgot to do a post congratulating my nephew Dwight on his 18th birthday. I did however remember to relay birthday wishes to him through my mother and youngest brother. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to actually talk to him. This is […]
