Homemade Cookie CUTTERS!

December 18th, 2006

After two futile trips to nearby stores for cookie cutters, Sarah and I took the metal in our own hands and made these cookie cutters with junk we had on hand (and a zip tie).

New glasses for Sarah!

Even though her glasses were a mere seven years and two prescription-generations old, Sarah sprung for some flashy new specs.

I think they make her look foxy

Back from the dead – The Archives!

September 16th, 2006

Reckless file renaming a couple months ago caused me to lose the archives — well, sort of. The files were in tact, but the directories (that look like theis page) were deleted. They’ve been hacked-back-together.

Many have asked and I still don’t know the answer.

Last night, at dinner with Amily and Tyler, Amily asked if Rusharound is a blog. To be honest, it might be, but I hope it’s not. Though a few bloggers are good-n-wealthy, one has to imagine that the 75,000 new blogs launched every day (according to Technorati.com) are pecked out by people overflowing with time and pontification. I am neither. I’m busy – but like to share some of my adventures and good news with my friends. This is my way of doing it. So I prefer we call this a “Personal Website” and leave it at that.

Marc and Heather – Married!

Special thanks to Heather and Marc for including Sarah and me in your wedding. What a great event — at summer camp turned exclusive wedding destination! See the pics!

Or, much better, see Pat and Maya’s Pics.

Introduuuuucing – Theo Hudson Cahill McGee!

August 27th, 2006


Sally and Sarah are proud parents of Theo Hudson Cahill McGee. After an onsite inspection I can confirm this little one is about as cute as they get – and nearly silent for the duration of our visit. Welcome about Theo!

(P.S. If you rearrange the letters in Theo’s full name you get A clenched toe hugs him lo. Nice nickname!)

Leapin’ Little Ones All Over the Place!

August 10th, 2006

It seems many of our friends are having — or about to have — their first kiddos. Exciting stuff. See some little person photos and a hypothesis of why so many now?

Aug 11, 1900 – July 31,2006
My great grandmother (my dad’s mom’s mom) was born in 1900. She passed away at home on July 31, 2006 after a long and happy life. A couple of pictures are included
