On Saturday December 12th, 2009, the Swell Sister Society will be hosting their second annual group art show at the Coffee Garden. My wife and partner Petra B will be showing at least one piece of her fused glass art and I have to say it’s a really nice piece too!

It’s been two years and three months since we were able to take the granddaughters on an outing, just the four of us. But it happened today so I wanted to post about it, real quicklike, before I hit the bed for a few hours sleep before work tomorrow. We were finally able to take them, [...]

She did it! My wife Petra ran in the 5k Race For The Arts tonight. And she did great! She even cut a few minutes off her expected time.
There’s more info about her and why she ran the race in my blog post the other day. Check it out. But the important thing is that she [...]

And it goes like this:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Petra B
Happy birthday to you!
Nice song, huh? I didn’t write it. But I wanted to publicly wish her a great, great, wonderful day, today and everyday. I love her a lot.
As much as can be…

If you would like to donate make [...]

Last week was “Go to the Doctor” week here in stevenology world. My wife Petra had four, count ‘em, four doctors appointments all related to her breast cancer from back in 2005. Yes, unfortunately, that issue never really leaves your life once it has so rudely forced it’s way in. She is still on medication with [...]

Good ol’ Uncle Jim. Well, technically, he wasn’t my uncle but he did care about me. He was my wife Petra’s uncle and he passed away on December 27th in Illinois. Jim always told Petra how lucky she was to have me, and I won’t argue with that. But the bigger truth is that he [...]

Yeah, baby! It’s the President-Elect. And you all know what big Obama fans we are, having already read this and this. So, really, it’s no big surprise that he showed up at our house to thank us personally for voting for him. Hey, pictures don’t lie!

Barack: “This is better than the White House”

No, I don’t mean that old Robert Palmer song (or was it Moon Martin)? Anyway, long-time readers of this blog will remember on my old web site that I kept a running off-and-on commentary about my wife Petra’s bout with breast cancer and her subsequent treatments and current period of remision.
It’s been a few years now, but [...]

A few weeks ago I made a post about how we bought a very special brick for the grandkids. And that was very cool, check it out if you haven’t already. But this is a little different. It’s a garden stone for my mom. She is gone now, passed away this spring, but when she was here she touched a lot [...]

This is the first birthday that my Mom is not here for. She died earlier this year. This is just a quick note to say we miss her. Her online obituary is here and her guest book is here.
Happy Birthday, Mom.

How do you like our brick? Sort of speaks for itself, don’t you think? We bought it for two reasons: 1) It is a great, semi-permanent way to show our grandkids that we love them and are thinking of them and 2) The money went to a very good cause, the local kids attraction Fairytale [...]
