Michael, you did a fantastic job. I didn’t stop crying the whole way through. It really turned out beautifully. I know you put a lot of hard work into it and it shows. I know everyone will greatly appreciate what you have done.

What a nice tribute to Uncle Jake. All of us (Marge and Les’ kids)so enjoyed visiting and staying at your home while growing up (some of us never did grow up….too many Schepker genes, I guess). Jake and Sophie and all of you cousins always, always made us feel welcome and the backyard BBQs, family gatherings, the Parkers, the Mansion, etc. are wonderful memories for us. Dad and Jake were very close and had that same “goofy” but treasured sense of humor. Dad would say to kids sitting in “his” chair…”Did you see that puppy in the kitchen?”….empty chair in seconds. We will miss him a lot – he made life special for us – as did all the Schepker siblings. What a great family! We are blessed. Mary Leslie

Mike, I am Elaine’s friend and I just want to send my condolences to your family. Jake was a truly great dad! I remember he always welcomed us to family gatherings and treated Elaine’s friends as if we were family. He had a kind and generous heart and soul. I worked at the Bissell Mansion for several years and I appreciated his dedication to the history of the place and to his neighborhood. He lived a good, full life.

I’m really sorry to hear about your grandpa. I lost mine last year, and while I didn’t get to know mine as well as you knew yours (he lived on the other side of the country), it’s hard knowing that they’re not around to tell us the stories they experienced. Sending much love your way.

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Grandparents are such a positive force in our lives… keep remembering those stories that make you smile. :)

Your grandfather sounds like an amazing person who accomplished much in his life while still taking the time for those little jokes with his family. So sorry about your family’s loss.

As do I. Ultimate electronics sucks as does a local deptaetmebt store chain we have here. No other options.

I got the Sony Bravia 3.1 Channel Soundbar

You’ve seen how small my apartment is so it didn’t really make sense to get a full surround sound system. When I move to a house or condo I’ll probably upgrade, but for now it’s perfect.

what sound bar did you get? I’ve got the HCT100 and it sure is nice not having speaker cables throughout the whole room.

I agree with you! I didn’t even know that option was there until I found your blog post. Thanks!

It was a silly place of them to put it. Not very intuitive at all.

Comment on What Happened to Network Television? by shep

yeah, chuck is good. I think the only reason it is still around though is because fans become very vocal when rumors of cancellation start swirling. That and NBC is desperate this year, which is why Chuck is starting back earlier than originally planned and will have 6 additional episodes..

I did watch Kings and Defying Gravity. I thought Kings was only meant to be a mini-series as it follows the biblical story of David. Defying Gravity a lot of potential.

I think the networks want to play it safe. Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia had offers from the major networks, but they wanted to change the format. FX wanted the show how it was. Curb your Enthusiasm is on HBO because they can get away with stuff the network won’t allow; pedophiles at Seder, pissing on Jesus.

I do really enjoy Chuck on NBC, Mondays starting in January.
