Where the Hell is Matt?? 2008 So someone sent me the link above. And after seeing the video, I explored his site (www.wherethehellismatt.com). I even spend 90 minutes watching a lecture he did at a college. If you do decide to watch the video, make sure you navigate to the video page and see the [...]

We had to see Wall*E today! I’ve been looking forward to this movie. Generally I am a huge fan of Pixar movies…some more than others. Since they, Disney and Pixar, didn’t really give much of the plot away leading up to the release of the movie, I couldn’t wait to see what the story was. [...]

“Nuthin…jus chillin” I realized I hadn’t posted in a while…thought I should come and post something. Then as I was trying to figure out what to title the post, that dumb commercial with “Bush” and his “Advisors” came on the telly. Well…that sounded as good as anything I had for a title. We all made [...]

He left us about 10 minutes ago. He went the way he wanted, at home, surrounded by his family. No regrets, but lots of sadness. We will miss him terribly.

I was talking to Porter last night and he said something that really struck me. We, my hubby’s family, have been given a gift. We are going to be bringing Pop home to spend whatever days he has left on this Earth to be surrounded by love and laughter. We will all get the opportunity [...]

The docs seem to think there is nothing left that they can do for Pop, other than send him home and keep him comfortable. Brian is heading to the hospital where he will meet his sister and Mom to make the necessary decisions and set-up home hospice or what ever else may be needed. I’m [...]
