I added a whole mess of new links to my “Derek reads…” list. I didn’t realize how many more feeds I’ve started following since I last updated that!
One of the cool “add-ons” to geocaching are Travel Bugs. Travel Bugs (or TB in shorthand) are items that move from cache to cache. You purchase a travel bug, which includes a set of dog tags that are stamped with a unique serial number. One tag you attach to an object of some sort, one…
Uh oh. Sounds like Chef may have been over exerting himself again. 😉 ;) Damn, women! He just gave you sweet lovin’ five minutes ago!
Welcome to the fool-free edition of Friday Five! #1 – REDACTED I write Friday Five for my internal Praxair blog, and this post was just too specific to something internal to be worth sharing here. Instead, here’s the worst song in the universe. #2 – Amazon Cloud Player goes live, streams music on your computer…
What a relief that the Sabres finally finished off Ottawa. All these playoff games have been seriously affecting my ability to get other things done, like work outside, pay bills, etc. Hopefully NJ/Carolina goes 7 games so I can get back on track!

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!
