Busy week

By Varrin Swearingen | July 24, 2008 - 11:32 AM |July 24, 2008 Uncategorized
Leave a comment

So far, it’s been a very busy week, but I’m still alive. I got home Sunday evening. Edi had asked me if I would play piano this coming Sunday at church. I told her I would if she’d have music ready for me when I got home. She had music … Continue reading →

Family stuff

By Varrin Swearingen | July 8, 2008 - 7:41 AM |July 8, 2008 Uncategorized

Usually is the one to write about family stuff. Today it’s me, mainly because family stuff has occupied my available attention (granted, not that much) for the last couple days. Aside from Edi and I playing together at church on Sunday, the news revolves mostly around the kids (what else … Continue reading →

Old love

I don’t often pass along humor here, but I thought this was cute: A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite. He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches it for a few seconds, then it comes crashing back down to earth. He … Continue reading →

Another probable blogging gap

By Varrin Swearingen | June 4, 2008 - 6:04 PM |June 4, 2008 Uncategorized
Leave a comment

I’ll probably be fairly absent here for the next week and a half at least. Between guests and Porc Fest, I may have difficulty finding time to blog, at least any of the ‘personal’ stuff. I’ll do my best to get at least one Porc Fest blog up while I’m … Continue reading →

California

Edi, Edison, Erin and I flew out out to California on the 13th, over two weeks ago now. We flew into Los Angeles and drove to Fresno and back, spending about a week in Fresno. The trip came about in a kind of unlikely way. In the fall every year, … Continue reading →

The Tilt and Mandriva 2008.1

By Varrin Swearingen | May 30, 2008 - 3:44 AM |May 30, 2008 Uncategorized
1 Comment

Shortly before our California trip, my phone did a goofy thing and wouldn’t turn on. It took me several attempts to get it working. It worked fine through the trip and then started acting up again after returning home. Given I’m out of a contract, I thought I’d start looking … Continue reading →

Made it to CA

It’s vacation time and I made it to California with the fam. Due to the overwhelmingly busy schedule, I won’t be writing a whole lot of it as it happens. I do expect to have something to say at some point after the fact. Miss me…. V-

Money, geography, and sundries

The music wasn’t all that kept me busy last week. A couple of the days last week, I kinda took over as the primary teacher in the house. Normally, Edi does most of the actual teaching of our kids. But there are some things she’d prefer for me to teach, … Continue reading →

Scott update

By Varrin Swearingen | April 28, 2008 - 11:08 PM |April 28, 2008 Uncategorized
Leave a comment

Just a quickie update that I should have posted a few days ago. Scott had his (second) surgery and it went well. They wound up not having to take out as much ‘stuff’ as they expected and he was recovered enough to actually be in church on Sunday. V-

Simple pleasures: a hike

By Varrin Swearingen | April 23, 2008 - 9:48 PM |April 23, 2008 Uncategorized
Leave a comment

The weather is finally suitable for non-winter outdoor activity, so I thought it’d be nice to go for a hike. It’s been a while since I’ve done anything outdoorsy and I’ve been missing it. Last night, I bounced the idea of hiking Mt. Monadnock off Edi and that was met … Continue reading →
