Who is Danny Federici and why am I writing a tribute?

Filed Under Music | 2 Comments

Danny who? There might be one or two visitors to my site who might know who he is, but I think most won’t. I’ve never talked about him before anywhere, and I’ve never really counted him as an influence in any way. Danny Federici died last April 17, 2008, and when I heard about it, [...]

The puppies are turning out to be a noisy bunch. Well, one of them at least. After a week of observing them, I’m now very aware of what their individual characteristics are. Boney (the less hairy one) seems to be more independent and smart. She’s also more affectionate, but at the same time the first [...]

Philippine Daily Inquirer
Last updated 17:17:00 04/25/2008
MANILA, Philippines–“My name is Alexandra Trese. I am nothing like my father.” Her father Anton dabbled in affairs mystical and mysterious; she—called “Little Trese” fondly and otherwise—has inherited his gift for the eerily unorthodox, with a difference. It is to her that Manila’s police [...]

Filed Under Family, General | 19 Comments

Leaving the old house today, I saw these two dirty puppies right on our front doorstep. Ok, it was more like gate-step. They looked bewildered, looking around as if seeing everything for the first time. Since our old house runs along a very busy street, the things were in very real danger of getting run [...]
