Went for the Ford Fusion Hybrid: ~37mpg, enough room in the back seat for the boys, and plenty of bells and whistles to keep Kevin from getting bored. Bought it Friday. The real test is this week and five days of commuting. Always exciting to breathe in that new car smell.

, originally uploaded by kevdonahue. Virginia and I found this sign in the backyard of my mom’s house on Christmas day—it helps explain how she afforded all those presents. We were in NJ Friday to Sunday, had a good time, and pretty much beat the snow home. At 10:30 pm Sunday, we’ve got about 4…

We took Kevin’s mom into Philly this morning for a little dose of Christmas. Caught the Comcast Center holiday presentation (on their humongous video board in the lobby, above), a stroll through the Christmas Village and brunch at Marathon Grill. Followed that up with Kelly’s first rec game of the year. His team won (yea!),…

Pete played all but 4 minutes of the JV opener, scored 12 points and hit four free throws toward the end of an OT win, then got in for 2 minutes at the end of the varsity opener, an easy win, in the Pennridge tournament. Pete plays again Saturday, then Kelly has his rec league…

Last night my wife said, “We’ve been together a long time.” Me: “Not long enough.” I’m getting smarter. Now if I could only figure out how to make my kids concentrate on their studies …

I’m supposed to get an X-ray of my neck. And I will. Soon. About 8 weeks, I made a mistake and succumbed to a Saturday night challenge to arm-wrestle. No, I had not arm-wrestled in 20 years and if I wasn’t on my third glass of wine, I probably would have deferred. But I didn’t,…

It’s Auntie Do, interviewed as part of an article on a long-term study of women’s health issues, of which she’s a part. You’re an inspiration, Doris! (And that’s her friend Enid, seated.) Women applaud extension of study

Virginia and Kevin are teaching Kelly’s Coming of Age Sunday school class, and we took them this past weekend to Boston, the home of Unitarian Universalism in the US. We had three other adults helpers and nine students total. You can see photos from our trip here We were in…

Saw photos of the bridge,which opened today, and was reminded that we saw it under construction in the summer of 2009. That’s Pete in front of it (below). Hard to really give an idea of scale in a Web photo.

P1110698, originally uploaded by kevdonahue. Family got together in Long Branch, NJ, at a beachside restaurant called Sirena’s, for my mom’s 70th. Here she is with her grandkids. Her sister Betty and brother Bill (and spouses) joined us, as well as friends Al and Arlene Regan. Dinner was tasty, the weather was gorgeous, a newlywed…

Kelly loves nothing as much as when I take impromptu photos of him— like this one, Friday afternoon, as he was eating his final meal at CHOP before heading home. Spaghetti and meatballs. Looked pretty good. The Kid was looking pretty good, too. After three nights in the hospital, a couple quarts of saline solution, a load of steroids and a…
