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…
After seven parties in six days, we finally get a break… until New Year’s Eve, when everyone will be coming here. Christmas is by far the busiest season for us. Amanda sang four masses between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, in between the various parties. I used my last two vacation days on the 21st…
I’ve begun exploring upgrading Punaro.com to work in conjunction with a blogging software. This site works off of a series of server side includes and a home grown content management system that I created for a project while I was still in college. While it was pretty neat-o in it’s day, that was almost 7…
I also blog at work (internally) and resolved to post more frequently this year. I figured the best way to keep that up was to institute a regular weekly feature which I’m calling the Friday Five – five technology-related articles I found interesting in the past week. I work with web, collaboration, and ECM (Enterprise…
We picked a builder! We’re happy to announce we’ve selected Custom Builders of WNY to build our home. May was largely spent on two points – talking to our potential builders and contractors on site development thoughts and working to bring down our cost estimates. Both of these things led us towards picking CBWNY. That’s…
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!
