I see I left out a word: I meant to say it was a GOOD week being with family. But you probably already know that. . .

Thanks from us, too. We just got home from the airpot in Greenville. The return trip went well except for having a flat tire on the plane as we started to leave Philadephia for the second half of the flight. That delayed us a while. Then the van that was to meet us in Greenville had given up so that delayed us a little more. Now we're home (7:30) and I'm hungry! Whatever happened to airline food?
It was a week being with family and we were lucky not to see one of those snow storms that Boston is famous for. Love you all.

Thanks to all for such a lovely Christmas in Boston. We are home in Seattle safe and sound, after a long, late night walk through NYC including sushi and tempura in Times Square. They are already preparing Times Square for New Year's Eve, it would be an exciting place to be. For the record, it is colder and sunnier in Seattle than it was when we left NY this morning....§

We're just finishing Christmas dinner, graced by our Miranda's presence and fine vittles. Now if I can find someone to help with the cleanup I'll be in business. :)

Hi All, We are in a hotel in Seattle. The flight we wanted to get out on tonight was full so we don't know when we will be arriving in Boston. So Paula and Mark - don't wait up, we'll get there when we get there. There sure are lots of people at the airport, it's going to be a good holiday season for all of those seasonal vendors. Stuck or not, it feels good to be on the road again. We'll keep you posted....
Steve & Ana
Friday, December 19, 2003 at 23:38:42 (PST)

A sincere and gracious Thank You all for your birthday wishes. I did have to work today, but now I'm home and TGIF. I had goodies waiting for me at home from the kids. And a note from stupid UPS saying they brought my new computer, but didn't leave it because there was no one here to sign. : ( After salsa class I'll go get my free birthday soak at East Heaven Hot Tubs. Life is good! See (some of) you soon!

It's Scott's turn to take a birthday bow! Will you get the day off to celebrate the occasion? Probably not. Well, we'll be there to sing Happy birthday a couple of days late, anyway. In the meantime I hope you have a great December 19th. From your loving
Mother
Friday, December 19, 2003 at 03:43:24 (PST)

Thanks to all for the birthday greetings. It's been a peaceful and nice weather day here in Seattle. I'll be going out for sushi with a friend for dinner. I'm looking forward to heading east tomorrow and spending a week or so with the family. See what you can do about getting rid of that snow, would you please? §

Let me be the second to say Happiest of Birthdays to Stevie. I am so glad that I will be able to give those well deserved (and numerous) birthday spankings in person to the one who so aptly paves my way. In the meantime, I am sending lots of cyber love. Have a great day, Steve. I love you.

Well, Hello, and Merry Christmas! I see your family is busily engaged in planning a big do at Paula's. I still peek through the windows occasionally....I hope the weather is kind to you all, but knowing the Stylos resolve, everyone will probably build sleighs or something and just go ahead with plans. Anyway, it sounds wonderful. Ramona, after I got a new computer, your e-mail address vanished along with many others. What is it, please?
Safe and happy times to you all!

I'll take you up on it, too, Mom. I'm in San Francisco for one more night, then back to Seattle for a week, then on to Boston. It's been a very nice trip. I ran into a friend of Ken Schwartz at the conference today. We reminisced about Ken. I have news about the Schwartz family which I will share by email when I get back to Seattle. Paula and Mark, this really is one of the world's great cities. I think it would be great if you moved here. See everyone soon....
Steve
Thursday, December 11, 2003 at 22:57:19 (PST)

Ok, Ramona. I'll take you up on that.

Our news is that we have moved into a new house in Ashburn, VA. We will never be moving again! What a hassle. Vinnie says it must be like childbirth... after a few years you forget how painful it is. Easy for him to say. So we are finally (almost) settled back east. It's wonderful being close to family and old friends. We will surely be vacationing in CO each year. We miss it so!

Love from me.
Andrea
Thursday, December 11, 2003 at 08:36:15 (PST)

What happened? Did everybody get buried under the snow? It's rain that we're getting right now. Guess I'll stay in and write Christmas cards. How about a little action on this board?

Got about 14 inches here in Northampton. Now the sun is shining. Melissa and I are about to venture forth into the world (downtown to do a little shopping).
Scott
Sunday, December 07, 2003 at 09:44:34 (PST)

Wow. Sure is a lot of snow. We have not even ventured out to start shoveling, as the heavy snow just keeps on coming. I just measured 16 inches on the front porch, but with all the wind I do not know how accurate that is. They certainly haven't plowed Agawam in a long time, eight or so inches there. But we have fire wood, food and Christmas cards to write, so we are just fine. How about the rest of you?
Paula
Sunday, December 07, 2003 at 07:43:26 (PST)

Well...I'm waiting for a first-hand report on the winter wonderland known as Massachusetts. I'll bet Melissa, and any other ardent skiiers are happy. Let us hear from you.
Ramona
Sunday, December 07, 2003 at 04:08:18 (PST)

Good luck, all you New Englanders, who are about to get hit by a big snow storm. I hope you have firewood, milk and bread and reading material, as well as a shovel! We got 2 or 3 inches of snow yesterday; they're doue to get more in the higher mountains (around Yancey County and Mr. Mitchell) this weekend. I'm ready for spring and winter hasn't even begun!

Happy Birthday, Betsy!!! Congratulations on entering your 16th year. This will be the year that you learn to drive, hopefully. Hard to believe how quickly you have gone from little girl to young woman. And so nicely. I hope you have a great day and a great year. And I hope we get to see you soon. §

Tuesday, November 25, 2003 at 14:37:29 (PST)

I was sorry to hear last week that Bernie Friedman passed away. Our thoughts and sympathies to the entire family. I am sure the Scott Stylos family are having a fun time in Pittsburgh. Jeff, could you send me the link to the application you put developed?

Ana and I are still trying to finalize our Christmas plans. We are tentatively planning to come east, but plane tickets are much more expensive than at any time in the past three years or so. I suppose a sign of a revitalizing ecomony. I have finished my Christmas shopping, and I can tell you that the stores seem much more crowded than they did last year. Probably a good time to invest in retail stocks. If we do come east, it will probably be from the 20th until the 28th.

Not much new from here, other than the fact that it has been cold, dark and damp. More later...§
Steve
Tuesday, November 25, 2003 at 13:19:24 (PST)

Just a little snow, in the last hour of the drive to Pittsburgh. Hasn't melted yet though.

Nice visit so far, hanging out at Jeff's apt., and playing foosball and pool and ping pong here at CMU. Jeff doesn't have a phone or internet at home, so I'm taking advantage of this computer at his school.

We'll stay here until the weekend, then drive back.

I'll be in Mass for xmas holidays. Looking forward to seeing at least some of you then.

Hello to everybody from Pittsburgh PA. Joe, Liss and I drove down today to visit Jeff. Had to drive through snow to get here. But Jeff is worth it.

Happy Birthday to all those I missed recently - Mark A., Ana, Miranda and Al from Misisipi. Best wishes to all.

No news here except that we do plan to come to New England for Christmas, Dec. 21st to the 29th. And this time we're flying. Athena has offered us the use of her car for the week. We hope to see lots of the extended Stylos family.
Ramona

Wednesday, November 19, 2003 at 03:32:12 (PST)

No intrusion at all! I'm sure I speak for my siblings when I say "the more the merrier". I'm glad you're getting the chance to visit with your daughters.

We're in the middle of our annual November deluge here, but for those of you in sunnier climes, you should check out the evening skies the next few days: the Leonid meteor shower is taking place.
mona
Tuesday, November 18, 2003 at 11:33:09 (PST)

I hesitate to intrude upon your delightful family board, but since the head Mom invited me...
Yes, today is the 76 anniversary of my birth one frosty morn way down yonder in the land of cotton....old times there are not forgotten....in Dixie Land. I do remember all the old times for sure. Such a delightful childhood. The '30's and '40's were such good years.
Mona, thank you so much for remembering. You are my favorite child of a favorite mom. We are leaving Monday morning for a visit to Ohio to my daughter Laura's home. Rebecca will spend all of Wednesday up there with us, getting to know some more of her extended family while giving our children an opportunity to know her.
If any of the Stylos Clan are ever on the Gulf Coast, be sure to come by, and you are welcome to make your hq here should you be coming to visit the coast. If we run out of beds, we will run to Walmart and buy an air mattress or something......I must warn you tho.......I am a night ow.;))

Yes, Welcome Cuz! Ana and I made it back to Seattle without a hitch. I had a very nice trip, I can't say the same for Ana, who was on Paula's couch for the entire visit with a fever. She missed a day of school when we got back, but she went today. We are still trying to figure out Christmas plans. Where will everyone else be? §

We just had a great birthday celebration for Mark and Ana. Delicious food (chicken cacciatori), and dessert (chocolate cake) and best of all, a lunar eclipse. Wish you were here.
Paula

And I pass my birthday wishes along to Ana and Miranda as well. Yes, we are all very proud of both of you. Congratulations, Miranda, getting your new place and all. And two jobs! One for you and one for your Mom. Ana is excited about going to Boston (we leave in the morning). So am I. See some of you tomorrow. §

Hey!! No fair! Paula gets to correct her own mistakes, while the rest of us just have to leave them hanging out here for all to see! LOL! For a minute there I thought maybe Ana was gaining on Miranda!

Miranda's news is that she moved into her own apartment this week, and is now keeping busy with decorating it. And working 2 jobs. I'm on my way out to meet her now, and to see what we can find at Pier One Imports....wish I still had my employee discount there!

Though I am sure those beautiful birthday girls are still fast asleep, I want to wish Miranda a happy 19th birthday (enjoy your last year as a kid) and Ana a happy 12th birthday (one more year until you are a teenager!). Hope you both do what makes you happy today. Let's keep these celebrations coming!

Happy Birthday, Joe!!! And congratulations on becoming this family's first Eagle scout. Eighteen! A great time in one's life. I spent a nice few days with Jeffrey, who is now in Vancouver, conferencing. I'd say it's about your turn to make a trip to the west coast. §

We had a nice, albeit quick visit with Jeff yesterday - then he was off with Steve to see some sights! I went to hear Hot Tuna in town last night with our old friend Jim Boudreau -- they were great, naturally.
mona

It's a beautiful autumn day here and a beautiful fall evening is predicted. Clear and cold. It's party time for me tonight, then up reasonable early tomorrow to go to the airport to pick up Jeffrey who will be on his way to Vancouver. This day always make me think of Jerry and the rest of my family. Hard to beleive he has been gone for 2/3 of my life. I felt so old and mature then. I guess that makes me pretty ancient now. §

I thought those spam postings would be gone by now. Oh well, it could be worse. Like those spam emails that fill up my bulk mail folder so quickly.

Happy halloween everybody! Should be a great night for trick or treaters around here. After that I'm going to a party (in caveman costume).

Have fun Jeff, in Seattle and Vancouver this coming week. Thanks Steve for helping him on his way.

I have an invitation to a pathology conference on breast cancer, in Waltham - one of the speakers is a lawyer - Charles Reidy, Esq. - don't we know him?

34 years, JAS. My, how time rolls on. Miss you still.

Joey did his eagle scout project today. He's slipping it in under the wire...has to be done before turning 18.

Liss is doing great on the cross country running team. Jeff is going to Seattle/Vancouver in a week.
Pam is working hard at school. That's kid report.

I'm doing good too. Going to a comedy show tonight.

Fall fell yesterday with a vengence. After the driest summer on record, Seattle made up for it yesterday with the rainiest day on record: 5.02 inches! Everything is a bit soggy today, but who needs a snow pack when you can fill the reservoirs up with rainwater. Ana and I are looking forward to being in Boston in two and a half weeks. Sixth grade seems to be agreeing with her. Still haven't finalized spring break plans and we need to do that soon. Not much else new on this end...§

We (Paul, Rex and I) are back from the cabin. Athena and a couple of friends stayed on for another couple of days. It is quite cold up on the side of that mountain and we went through a lot of firewood. (Thanks to all those who helped cut the wood and fill the wood shed.)
And thanks to those of you who found all kinds of ways to ensure that I had a great birthday on the 16th. It was an occasion to remember.

Pedro? Why, is it his birthday, too? No, only kidding, I know what's going on, and I know what will probably change our plans for going to the cabin today. But that's OK. None of us (not even Athena) is pressed for time.

I has been a great birthday so far (and it's not even noon yet!) Rex and I went down to the Essence of Thyme for an early morning coffee and scones. Then I met my Thursday morning friends for a half-hour of meditation, then on to half-price day at the Friends of the Library annual book-sale. When I got back Paul, Rex and Athena had put the house back like it was before last night's great party and there were greetings of all sorts waiting for me, so what more could I ask?
Oh yes, and we're having some of "October's bright blue weather." Life is good.
Ramona
Thursday, October 16, 2003 at 08:42:56 (PDT)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I'm sure you are getting the special attention you deserve. Good thing Athena and Rex are there, since Dad is probably a little busy these days. Go Mom! (and go Pedro!)
Scott
Thursday, October 16, 2003 at 08:17:47 (PDT)

Happy Birthday to my mama. What a ruckus you have caused this year! Apparently it has something to do with the planets and the stars all lined up in a certain way.....which is why I thank my lucky stars that I have you as my mama. For you I wish a day full of joy, fun, champagne, and lots of love from your adoring family and friends. Congratulations, mom, on a quarter of a century, and thank you for my half.

Yes, a very successful garage sale. Why, you could fit a Miata, a canoe, and two motorcycles in the garage if you wanted to!
I will not be fortunate to spend my favorite mother's birthday with her,a d will have to use Scott's approach and raise a glass to her by myself.

Leaves are only just beginning to change.

And, what about those Red Sox?
Paula
Friday, October 10, 2003 at 17:02:47 (PDT)

Yeah, and how to pick 'em too. If I do say so myself. I mean...I waited for days for someone else to post that, but, I guess, if you want something done right...

Who all is headed down to NC for the Mom b'day festivities?

That Ping, knows how to call 'em.
Mark
Monday, October 06, 2003 at 20:31:10 (PDT)

Well, Ping assured me they'd win 3 straight, so we'll see...

Paul finished up his fall baseball league today - so he and David and Betsy missed the exciting finish. In Babe Ruth baseball the basepad is as big as the majors - 90 feet between bases. Takes a bit of getting used to, to say the least. The kids think they can steal a bag easy...then get halfway there and go - uh oh!

Are the leaves turning in New England yet? Did you have much business at your yard sale?

I hope Perry is out having too much fun to check the Stylos web-page. I'm sure he's having a Happy Birthday.
Aunt Ramona
Saturday, October 04, 2003 at 17:53:11 (PDT)

How did that happen? I didn't press add message twice....

Anyway, the hug was because I understand the Sox lost again, and that will have to make for some grumpy, sleep deprived Red Sox fans.

Out here in Pingreeville, we're dealing with this upper respiratory ick that doesn't seem to want to go away. But the weather is lovely, and we really have nothing to complain about. Love you all,

Scott, I'll answer your question since the one to whom it was addressed is watching u-know-what. I went to bed about the time the game started, your dad saw it through to the bitter end. 2:30, was it? I think dinner will be on a tray tonight.
Ramona
Thursday, October 02, 2003 at 14:30:56 (PDT)

I started watching in the eighth inning. Wait, the A's? Aren't they the team that the Mariner's beat 5 out of six times in the last two weeks? Come on Bosox. Let's get rid of that saying, 'The only reason they win today is that it hurts more to lose tomorrow!'. Go Sox. §
