Are you ready for this? Ok…. here it comes…. Ta-da! House! A lot happened in the last few weeks, despite no posts here. You should also watch for interm updates on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. We can set aside the silly notion I had that I’m going to blog daily. Frankly, the current performance of…
Here’s the official answer to why Bed Bath and Beyond built their wart onto the side of the McKinley Mall: Hi Derek, You are not the only one who has expressed some frustration with the entrance of Bed Bath & Beyond! This was a corporate decision by Bed Bath & Beyond to lay the store…
While out trying to find Amanda a new easter bonnet, er… outfit, we noticed that Dollar Tree has moved into the former Oak Expressions (whatever the name was, don’t remember exactly) building. This in itself wouldn’t be big news except that it IS big. Real big. That store is huge compared to most other Dollar…
Since Derek is a member of the “Crew” (I’ll let one of them explain in a comment what exactly that is), he thinks it would be fun to help me out in the delivery room with some of their more famous chants. I’m not entirely opposed to this, as I want to laugh as much…

Canada’s system has big problems, though, ones which are easy to see and predict, yet hastily ignored by those looking to feed the Hutt of federal government. However, it’s hard to ignore the…
Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
