Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse than Navy Seals… I saw this headline on WNYMedia.net (originally posted on PrisonPlanet.com) and I was hoping it was going to link me to a satirical story about another Hollywood actor-turned-omniscient. Unfortunately, there was no satire to be found, it was serious. Made me feel bad…
Before both the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary, I noticed a rise in a new type of spam – fake blogs causing Google alerts to send not-so-subliminal political messages: Google Blogs Alert for: Buffalo Central Terminal Bill Clinton Photo Gallery By admin They’re staying at (we’re not devising this up) Tiggywinkles Animal hillary…

Monday was Ariella’s preschool open house/orientation. Of course I snapped a few photos… Today was the first official day of preschool – no parents!

New York Times July 4, 1993 “Our confidence is lacking and we’re a little unsure of ourselves,” said Dennis Gorski, the Eric…
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!
