Parenting with love, humor and the gospel.
"Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger."
Psalm 8:2
Jonathan Franzone I just wanted to post a quick not to say that I’ve placed a countdown timer on the sidebar for when I’ll be home. Only ten more days! Yay! Anyway, if you are viewing this from anywhere outside of the website you can click through to the site to see the countdown. It’s on the …
Ice fog is any kind of fog where the droplets have frozen into extremely tiny crystals of ice in midair. Generally this requires temperatures at or below −35°C (−30°F), making it common only in and near the Arctic and Antarctic regions. (From Wikipedia entry on fog) Today was cold. When we first arrived it was …
Sunday we headed out of town about 60 miles to the Chena Hot Springs Resort. Many people have repeated that this was a must see if you come to Alaska. Not only do they have the hot springs that you can dip into (if you dare), but they also have an ice museum. This sounded …
This is more of a pictorial post. The following are some pictures around my work building (and inside). Yesterday (Saturday, January 12, 2008) was at that time the coldest day that I had yet experienced. It started out cold and stayed cold… about minus 25° F. I was actually working too… yeah on a Saturday …
Nothing new or interesting to tell today, only I think I am about done with the cold. I’m not really all that infatuated with the snow any longer either. I guess that’s just the way it goes, though it would probably help if I had my family with me. I really miss my lady and …
Sunday my friend and I made our way up to the Moose Mountain Ski Resort for a bit of snowboarding. Oh and before you get the wrong idea the word resort is used very loosely here. Continue story. We were both new to snowboarding so we rented our gear and bought a pass for the …
Today I got out with my partner in crime and we drove around a bit. A few people told us that we could find some nice views at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Ok, I’m down with that. So we headed over there and got some nice snapshots. You can view them by clicking the …
Today was Thursday (at least at the time of me writing this). Apparently in my office, Thursday is also milkshake day because the ice cream shop nearby has half off milkshakes. Ok… I’m game. And hey, it’s only right over there across the street. We can walk! Alrighty then. So today I bundled up for …
Today I actually started working in some of the application code for the new company (Rogers Software Development). Woohoo! Of course it always takes a little while to learn the software architecture and engineering climate of a new group and they started me out with some fairly easy tasks that I can start learning on. …
I worked New Year’s Eve, though it wasn’t entirely productive. I was using a really old temporary machine until they could supply me with something workable. It only had 250 Mb of RAM… translation – it was SLOW! I would click or ALT-TAB to change windows and it would literally take up to one minute …
