Personal reflections, comments about things I've been doing, etc.
R.I.P. - Frank Keaney
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sun, 03/05/2006 - 15:35Yesterday, I received an email about the passing of Frank Keaney.
I only met Frank a couple times. He came to the fundraiser for Kim's campaign when she was running for State Rep. (See photo's here and here).
Many of you may recognize his daughter, 'Maura in Va', who was also at the fundraiser and is very active on many blogs.
Adoption
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sun, 02/26/2006 - 18:04I’m tired. I was up late last night, and then Kim called this morning while I was still sleeping. Perhaps this makes me a little more sensitive than usual. So, as I worked on my notes for me session on tracking the local blogosphere for the New Organizing Institute, I stumbled across this blog and got horribly distracted.
Dawit is a young boy from Ethiopia that a couple here in Connecticut has just adopted. It is a wonderful blog. Please take a little time to read it. It is written by GaiaGal. (See earlier posts here.)
R.I.P. Rocky Hynes
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 10:23I still feel a need to look over my shoulder and see if Rocky is okay. There is an empty spot there. He would have been 15 years old this summer. In dog years, he was about 102 when he died.

There are pictures of horses on the trail signs and various jumps along the trail. A little searching brings us information about the Bedford Riding Lanes Association. It was a little searching that brought us to this walk in the woods.
I’ve been frustrated by the amount of time that I spend in front of the computer, reading and writing emails, and trying to stay on top of the blogs. I’ve been wanting to get away from words for a little while. So, we decided to go on a family hike. Kim searched for good trails nearly and the Beaver Dam Sanctuary caught our attention. Fiona has been fascinated by beavers ever since seeing Narnia.
Friday Five
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 02/10/2006 - 15:22There is a tradition, out here in the Blogosphere, to ask five questions on Fridays and get as many people to blog their answers as possible. One good place to look at this is the Friday Five community on LiveJournal.
I’m not sure if Gina was acquainted with this tradition when she wrote The 5 Who Changed My Life, but she followed wonderfully in that tradition.
Gina is a schoolteacher who took time to reflect on the five schoolteachers who changed her life. Following that example, let me add my five to the list.
