Eclipse paid off! Now pay up.
ByDerekI was overjoyed to have scheduled my final payment on my Eclipse. After sixty payments, I was really looking forward to having that extra chunk of change added to my bank account every month for awhile, at least until I felt it was time to finally move on from the car of my “youth”. 😉…

I wasn’t going to write a 9/11 post…
ByDerek… but BuffaloGeek’s heartfelt post made me do it. Mostly because our stories are eerily similar – both involve geeks, wonderful women named Amanda, and an anniversary. Amanda and I had started dating in the late summer of 2001, so we were still really just getting to know each other. Of course everyone was a…

Didn’t they know it’s for the children?
ByDerekI thought it was quite interesting to read this story about how the Holland School Board actually cut $1 million from their budget. Their reason? Simple. Welk said the goal to cut 5 percent from the budget stemmed from a shrinking school population that had shrunk from 1,450 to 1,050 over recent years — with…

Detailing details
ByDerekThis weekend was all about the cars. Since starting the search for our house last summer, car care has really been neglected. I really needed to catch up and get at least a coat of wax on my year-and-a-half-year-old WRX. Since the heat was a bit oppressive on Saturday, it was a good day to…

The Google Knows All
ByDerekI got a good chuckle reading All Things Jennifer’s article about one of her posts showing up on Google Finance, even though it didn’t have much to do with finance. But then that got me thinking… I actually did write a finance related post last week… did that show up on Google Finance? Why, yes…

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!
