With our angel Joey scheduled to come into this world in under two months, I have been playing songs on Jenelle’s belly to give her a taste, if only prenatally of her parents musical tastes. Music is a very important thing to Jenelle as well as her Grand Pa Frank and Nanna Sandra. They all […]
As you may know, Jenelle and I are expecting our first child next February. In July we found out our baby Joey was diagnosed with a severe, and unfortunately fatal, Neural Tube Defect and is not expected to live more than a day. To celebrate her all too brief life Jenelle and I are keeping […]
While Traveler Nell is away in her homeland I have had a lot of time to fill up, as well as I have been left to fend for myself. I decided to mash these two problems together to form one solution… Make myself Dim Sims. Dim sims, or “Dimmies” are Chinese dumplings for the the Australian […]
Jenelle and I are expecting our first child next February. In July we found out our baby Joey was diagnosed with a severe Neural Tube Defect and is not expected to live more than a day. To celebrate her all too brief life Jenelle and I are keeping a list of experiences she would have […]
Yet another update to Joey’s List. Todays checkmark is Vegemite on Toast with Hot Chocolate. For those unfamiliar with Vegemite it is a staple in Australian cupboards.

There is one place I never thought Traveler Bill would ever go. That place is Parenthood. First, lets take a step back. I set up this page on June 20th as a place where I could document (probably in fits and starts if my history is anything) our baby’s progress and achievements. I never thought […]
A couple months ago my terrific In-Laws picked up this nifty vintage Hudson Valley commemorative “post-card” from the Brooklyn Flea around the corner. The illustrations inside were pleading to be framed. The problem was that the pictures were 3½ X 5½, a little small for a decent frame. Traveler Nell, undaunted, found a discount framer […]
Whatever that means! Traveler Nell has suggested I join her in the annual June Blog Challenge. At least I think it’s annual. Nevertheless, I thought I’d start the month with some photos of some things I received to end May. Yesterday at work I was greeted by a pair of packages. One was a birthday […]
I like neckties and I try to wear one every day. Lets see if I can make a swing through my entire collection. Well I did. There might be a tie or two that I havent worn yet, but for the most part I have gone through my all my ties. Funny, I thought it […]
