12-22-11 - Katrinka bring to Texas when you come Xmas eve with Clay 12-15-11 - Today from 4 - 6pm at my mother, Ahdel Chadwick's, home in Fort Worth, TX, there will be a celebration of the life of Richard Whinery. 12-08-11 - Obituary for mother's mate, Richard Whinery - farewell Dick. We'll miss you. - dc 11-29-11 - Went to some great restaurants in Walla Walla with elder son Kelly who's in the wine biz and heard a lot of wine talk which was over my head - like being with friends speaking a foreign language I know some of but not enough to follow what they say. I had a lot of good strong tea and one pomegranate with a touch of some vinegar at the Jim German Bar where all was exceptional. - dc 11-24-11 - I'm also grateful right now to Adalie and Nick of Bellatazza coffee and tea shop in Bend, Oregon, for being open on Thanksgiving - till one. And I am indeed grateful that Seth and Christina have provided a friendly place to go to now and be grateful that Katrinka (Seth's mom) will be there by my side - or over on the couch. - dc 11-17-11 -

9-14-11 - Thanks to Brad Warner for showing me around Kent and Kent State. He did a video interview with me while I was with him. Check it out. - dc 9-13-11 - Getting ready to print up my boarding pass for return from Akron to SF, CLE to SFO. Two days ago, at the Cleveland airport on the way home from this family event, my 97 year old mother, having been pushed up to the front of the security line in a wheelchair (only for the airport) was asked if she had any metal in her body and she said no. Gee, I remember her orthopedic surgeon showing her and me and my orthopedic surgeon cousin Phil a big piece of metal he'd put in her hip - looked like a trailer hitch with a spike coming out of it. But she forgot and as a result had to get a pat down and had to go through more extensive scanning. She does have a suspicious look about her and better safe than sorry. A tip of the hat to our nation's security team. At least she didn't say, "Well, I'm not very likely to be carrying a bomb on the plane," or something like that like Nancy Wilson Ross did years ago when with I think Lucy Bennett (Calhoun now) was with her. They pulled elderly sophisticate Nancy into a room for interrogation and she missed her flight. - dc
9-12-11 - Had a great time talking with Brad Warner at a coffee shop in Akron last night. Have mentioned his books before here. Won't look for past links. Here's his Hardcore Zen blog with the latest being the Dharma of George Carlin whom I've also referred to on cuke and there's Louis CK too, another of my favorites. - dc.
9-11-11 - AKRON - Would love to get a photo of mother on the dance floor last night - she was there with her cane off and on for several hours. The dance floor was my cousin's tennis court with a tent over it. 180 guests to celebrate a wedding. - dc 9-10-11 - AKRON - At a family event in Akron where Aunt Eleanor's family is centered. She's so youthful, 11 years younger than mother Ahdel who's 97 (see recent piece on her). I can't believe how sharp my 98 year old aunt Bruni (Brunhilda) is - reads science journals. Her name is almost the combo of her parents' and my mother's parents' names, Bruno and Hulda. In Germany I liked telling people that I was pure German on my mother's side. Her maiden name is Reich. Among the small square tiles in the Reich's entryway floor of their home built in the nineteen twenties were little swastikas. My grandfather worked at and inherited the Reich Bakery in Fort Worth. Germans are proud of their bread and so I'd proudly say I was descended from a line of German bakers. Her mother's maiden name was Smallfield. She taught society ladies fine embroidery and said she didn't believe the terrible things they were saying about that nice Mr. Hitler. It only occurred to me in recent years that my mother's parents may have felt a great shame for what German's had done to their once proud heritage. - dc 9-09-11 - AKRON - Akron is cool, overcast. - dc 9-08-11 - Up in the air. - dc 9-07-11 - Getting ready to go to Cleveland, Akron for six days for a family thing - mother's little sis and family are Akron based. - dc 9-04-11 - Going to Akron this month the 8th through the 13th for a family event but I'll have some time

7-8-34 to 3-7-2011 DC's dear friend for forty years DC's mate March 1976 - March 1985 Mother of Beth, Jonathan, Jane, Ethan
9-28-09 - RIP Lady Jane, Katrinka's companion of 13 years and Clay's and mine as well of 5. She was a big old dog. One woman observer called her an Anatolian Guard Dog. She slept more and more these last few years and recently it's become harder and harder for her to get up the stairs. She fell down them a couple of times and stayed down a lot. Then a few days ago she stopped eating then drinking and then she went over to the front of John's house and crawled under a bush and died there within a day. An excellent example to us all. This memorial filed under Family and Santhara (the natural, traditional way of death with dignity). Here's a photo of her minus the end of her nose. - dc Thanks so much to Rachel Boughton who
wrote, "John told me that Lady Jane went to the happy hunting grounds last
night, moved on to her next incarnation, threw off this mortal coil. She
was a dear old lady, bless her heart. I'll miss her. Best wishes to her on
her journey and to you, too. p.s. here is a little video of her I took on my cell phone a few years ago. 8-13-09 - With mother in Napa at her 95th birthday celebration.

2-27-08 - Nonesuch School Auction - gotta go out and get items for Clay's School auction to be held March 15th in Sebastopol. Got anything you'd like to offer to help this worthy cause? Just email me, DC, and I'll be most grateful. I've already got some hotels, spa, restaurants, coffee shops, goat cheese dairy, wine, a watch, and am going for more. Wish me luck.

5-05-07 - Anna and Nancy ask me about the women in my life.
3-25-07 - I was fixing a link here yesterday on the 3-22-07 What's New entry and had to stop and couldn't get back to it till this morning because Clay got all scuffed up and broke his arm in a skateboarding spill and I had to zip off to the emergency roam of Kaiser in Santa Rosa and hang with him and his mom till he was cleaned up, splinted, and released. The craziest part, according to him, was when the doc snapped back in place the radius totally broken just above the wrist. (The radius is the larger of the two bones running from elbow to wrist.) He opted for minimum sedation to have minimum risk of complications. Kudos to the wonderful nurses, technicians, and docs. Clay's fine now, sitting with an icepack on his elevated arm, watching Casino Royal. Elin took digital photos. Hope to have here soon. - DC 3-24-07 -
