We got our first kitten, Ralph, in October 1977, shortly after I moved into my college apartment in Arlington. We figure she was born in August. I’m not sure where we got her, but her first photos are from Barb’s birthday party later that month. Very unfortunately, Ralph died only a month or so after …
Photos from several untitled albums, the next in the series. Bill did one that covered 1978-1983; Barb did two over the same period. In February of 1978, we decided to take another shot with a cat. Ziggy was an orange tabby with a very patient disposition who put up with my long learning curve. He …
Photos from my album “For My Babe’s Anniversary: The Continuation of the Story So Far” and Barb’s untitled albums covering the same period. After leaving Hong Kong in August, 1976, and before heading to Georgetown, I went down to Miami to visit Laurie, David and their new daughter, Maggie. Barb was able to join us …
Winter Break Category We almost always seek out a place to take a break, get some sun, and relax, sometime between January and March. Here’s a small collection of wisdom gained over multiple years of winter/spring breaks. With apologies for being Ugly Americans, our winter break vacations are not exercises in cultural appreciation.

Barb and I took a winter break to the Iberostar Grand Bavaro in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Here we are again at an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean. I don’t mean that to be cynical, jaded or ungrateful. It’s a pleasant exercise in over-indulgence, a test to see how much we can stand to consume, …

These are photos from an album I put together in 1976 or so called “Bill – The Story So Far,” supplemented with photos from an album that my Mom put together for me about a year later. This post covers our time in Aruba, 1964-1966. My memories of Aruba are scattered but were revived in …
Allie came home for Christmas and we took a two-day mini-break in Washington, DC. Saturday, December 22 I woke at 6:30am to get same-day tickets for the African American History Museum, which we got for 1:30pm. The museum’s pass system is a bit of a pain in the neck, but it’s worked twice for me …
Here is a collection of our holiday letters over the years, for those keeping track. Some years are missing, either because we didn’t do a letter or I don’t have an electronic copy.

This post is based on an album I put together in 1976 or so called “Bill – The Story So Far.” I have other pictures from Hong Kong in my with-Barb days, 1974-76, but these are what was in that particular album. I will find some way to collate others as I come across them. …
