Ah, the holidays
December 27, 2000 by Sue in Wielesek
Ah, the holidays. Emphasize a different word in that phrase and it means something different each time. It is very nice to see all the kids and their families looking so well! Christmas Eve to church with Sadie, Hunni, Seraph and Robbie, with Seraph looking particularly glowing and Robbie particularly manly and stalwart. On Christmas morning, Sadie and Seraph, Dick and I all made a Martha Stewart breakfast, then a flurry of gift unwrapping. Dez and I headed down to the playground for awhile, as it was a beautiful sunny day. We liberated a stick and a bunch of chestnuts, which we lobbed at the slide, with a satisfying ping. A good time was had by all!

Ah, Monday night after a long weekend
November 28, 2000 by Sue in Wielesek
Ah, Monday night after a long weekend. I got the wreaths all done. My annual bow to my Martha Stewart gene. Dick has gone down to the library. He is really enjoying his job doing real chemistry; they are working on a drug for glaucoma. He keeps buying new books, and I've kidded him quite a lot about being back in the la-boratory.
Thanksgiving and Sam's birthday were very fun. Dez, Sam, and Josh (Jamie's brother David's son) were very cute, and had a great time together.It makes me all sniffly and teary eyed to see what great kids and grandkids we have.
I talked to Sadie today. She and her buds went to Virginia to spend Thanksgiving with one of the old Eugene gang who is
going to school there. They left Virginia at 9 am Sunday, expecting a quick trip home - she got into NY five hours after she expected, just in time to catch the last bus to Northampton.
She was accepted into the Botswana program next year. She originally planned to go for the whole year, but now says that she is thinking about coming back second semester. She said she could then do a senior thesis and try to get departmental honors, whatever that means. She sounded very cheery, having got an A and A-on a couple of papers she had been feeling harried about.
Baba has been very quiet this evening; I think she doesn't feel very well. Probably quite a lot of weekend for her, too.
Much love to all, Sue

November 11, 2000 by Adam in Wielesek
 Well, here is Adam, once again holding me with my feet to the computer, so to speak, hoping that I will add something warm and wise to this web site. However, given the fact that the country looks absolutely foolish, it's hard to be really perky. My friend, Ilona Kolesar, during the Impeachment Year, pointed out that the country had never been in such good economic shape as during the year when Congress left the country alone and only thought about sex.
I actually think Adam is trying to keep me from playing with Sam at this moment. We were having a great time shouting and throwing legos and having lego car crashes. When I taught him to say "Destructive", Adam told me that I could never watch him again if I didn't shape up.
Sam talks up a storm. It's actually sort of weird. Here he is again. We're going to fix the crashed lego cars.
Love to all, Grandma and Sam

Hi, Everybody,
Well, Baba gets her hearing aids today, and believe me, she is none too excited about the concept. I got her a couple of lottery tickets to ease her pain.
I had a phone call from Sadie, sounding excited about the election, and a phone call from Mare Wakefield, thanking me for sending on pix we took on her road show. She is such a sweet young woman.
Well, I get to be back in court tomorrow at 8:30 with the guy representing himself. At least, they asked me in advance if I wanted security in the court room.
Hogs and quiches to all, old mom

Hi, Everybody
I'm here at Sam's Place to watch Mssr. Sam while Dado and Mom go out for a bite to eat. Geedu (Grandpa) and Baba (Dick's mom) will be over in a few minutes.
Wehad lots of trick or treaters last night, including Leopard Sam and Dez the Snake, who was wearing an amazing costume created by Jenny. We'll try to post pictures.
We're very much curious to know how the election turns out.
The Oregon ballot is riddled with mean-spirited ballot measures designed to take more from the poor. One sixth of Lane County's population goes to bed hungry at night. Not good.
Much love to all, OM

Very unclear on the concept
October 23, 2000 by Sue in Wielesek
Very unclear on the concept.
I had a rotten week last week. I finished this custody case which I was doing for free as a Legal Aid referral. The guy on the other side didn't have an attorney, but he had been in trouble with the law so many times that he had spent more time in courtrooms than I have. During one recess he threatened to hit me. My client, who knew the guy better than I, opened the court room and shouted for security. All of a sudden about a gazillion police guys descended on us.
Baba is with us for a couple of months. She was sort of subdued in the week after she got here, but is doing better. She made crullers yesterday afternoon. Expect me to get fatter!
Love, the om

 While this page is really for my mom and Dick to post, here's a little tidbit. My mom was back East last week, visiting Sadie and other relatives. We got this one as something to post on my site. I dutifully scanned it in and posted it here - click it for a larger version. Hello to everyone back East!

Hi, everyone
October 18, 2000 by Sue in Wielesek
Hi, everyone. I'm sitting here at Adam's and Jamie's, where we have been babysitting, and Adam is striving mightily to make me digital. I think I'd better stop! Love, Om
