Anyway, I wanted to write a quick blog on how we are communicating with people. Obvisously this very blog site is somewhat of a one-way communication but in today's world there are a lot of things that make the distance between us so much easier.
Just so you are aware we 13 hours ahead of you in the central time zone so a good time to look for us on-line is sometime in your morning(our evening) or your evening (our morning). Sabrina usually has the computer on-line prior and just after she goes to / comes back from the gym in the morning (again this is your evening). So after 8 PM your time is great time to look for her. For all of you that have a web cam and YOU KNOW WHO you are...we want to see you. Hey, if Big Tony can figure this thing out on the computer...anyone can. The key is to login to MSN
Messenger everytime you are on the computer. You can set this up so it automatically just happens. That way if you see us on-line or if we see you...we can just say.."I think I'll give them a call...why not...it's free". For those of you that may not have a webcam yet...check into them. They are not that expensive and you'll be amazed as to opportunity it opens up to you.
Till next time, Tony.
Our spare bedroom
has really become communication central as we have a webcam on our laptop and this is one piece of technology we have thoroughly enjoyed. We have had numerous video calls with our family & friends....including Brandon, my buddy Mike Tagliapietra, Sabrina's Mom -Sandi, my sister Angie (Hayes family), and our daily conversation with my mom & dad - Big Tony & Sylvia. It is truly amazing to see someone on real time while they are sitting at their computer. The other morning we spoke with my mom and dad on his laptop at the kitchen table and had a conversation while my mom was cooking supper. Sometimes, we have nothing really to say...but just saying hi makes our day. Now that is just plain - cool.
Caden & Ava completely enjoy it too. Both of them want to sit on mom or dad's lap when we are at the computer. Just to hear or see grandpa, grandma, or Brandon is truly a treat for them.

The other day my mom said that my dad had a new hobby or maybe it was a "habit ". And this is sitting and watching the computer waiting for it to ring. We have almost a daily, sometimes twice daily, calls with them. See my dad gets up at 4:30 AM and immediately turns on his computer while he's drinking his morning coffee. We told
him now he has to have his coffee in something other than his shorts ... as you never know when the call might come. Got to look pretty for the camera. :)
