On Saturday July 16th, 2011, I gave a eulogy for my grandmother.  Here is the text of the eulogy: Today I am honored and humbled to talk about my grandmother.  She was a constant presence in my life. From the time I lived with her and her family (while my parents worked in the Middle East) to the time she spent some time with my wife Michelle and me. I could count her for sound advice, an

Rather than go to the Lord's Supper, today I stayed home today since my daughter Tabitha has been sick with a cough and a high fever. I realized that with four small kids that I don't have time to socialize with my friends nor do activities with my wife. With four kids, my life revolves around work, commuting (4-5 hours a day) and spending time with my family. It's been good to get a break

Well, here is a blog post after two months. Yesterday I went to Mike Anderson's groom shower (a Christian bachelor party with lots of foods and great fellowship) at BD Mongolian Grill at Bethesda, MD. It was great! I see a young dental student ready to take the big plunge with his beloved fiancee Anna "So to be Anderson" Hartley. He was sitting with other men who are married. I wondered

Last night my daughter Tabitha insisted that I take her to a basketball game played by the faculty members of New Market Elementary School. In other words, Tabitha wanted to see Ms. Warner, her Kindergarten Teacher, play some ball. So today I got home at 5:43am and took Tabitha and Seth to the basketball game. I had to pay $3 for tickets and then we watched the game. The game was lively and I

For the last five months or so, I have been hampered by this persistent cough which doesn't seem to go away. I have been on inhalers, cough syrups, antibotics, steroids and nothing seems to be working really well. Only time and prayers should heal it. One thing does seem to do its job is sucking on cloves. Yup! Good ole' organic cloves. My daughter Patricia starts to gag when I show the

I have to say that the position of the US President has been a huge fascination of mine from the last six and half years. I am a history buff and am a fan of social history. I don't care much for how a war was executed or which policies helped a country or two. I am a fan of social history and have been for most of my life. What I care about is how people through the rivers of time thought

As you may be following that the American auto industry (GM,Ford and Chrysler) is asking the US Government to bail them out with a $33 to $15 billion (not million but billion) loan. The Legislative body and the Executive body are currently scrutinizing the three companies and their bad practices. Today the President Elect Barack Obama stated that the CEO of GM should step down and Chrysler

Last week, the US President Elect Barack Obama selected Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of Staff when Mr. Obama becomes the next US president. After looking at several pictures on Google, I realized that Mr. Rahm Emanuel looks like Iron Man.No, not the character...but the guy who plays Iron Man in a movie.Yeah, that guy. He is Robert Downey Jr. Does he look Mr. Rahm Emanuel? If so then Mr. Rahm

Couple of days ago, I voted in this year's Presidential election. I debated and prayed for a long time for who to vote. Eventually I did vote. During the election years, there is a lot of debate on the news networks, talk shows, dinner tables and while drinking coffee. Typical questions come up like:electing presidents who align with our moral and political views and therefore pick judges

October 4th, 2008, the wonderful Jean-Baptiste family offered to watch our kids as Michelle and I decided to go on a date. Our last one happened last month (time of my last blog entry). We drove to Bethesda, Maryland and walked in the downtown area. We walked a few blocks before we decided we could both use a good meal. How about Japanese! They make good cars. Right?! Anyway we went to

As some of you know for the last week, Michelle, the kids and I have been in Seattle, Washington visiting our parents. It was my dad's Sixtieth birthday. We, the Moses family (the DC branch) decided to surprise him and everyone related to me who lives in Seattle, Washington. It wasn't a very eventful trip since we didn't go out and do much. I worked forty hours on my side job. My dad had a

After working seventy one hours last week, I decided to take the day off. I was simply exhausted!!! I took a afternoon nap with my 18 month daughter Patricia snuggled into me. After a quick meal of left overs, my wife Michelle, kids and myself decided to go for a walk. Rather than go for a walk in a State Park or in a Mall, we hit the nouveau downtown streets of Frederick, Maryland. I liked

Okay, Okay, Carol, here is my blog entry in couple of months. Usually I don't have time or I don't have anything insightful to say. I could rant about the american economic (as I type this, gas prices are up by a .1 cents or a gallon of milk has jumped up twenty cents) or the american political situation (guys, please pick your vice president candidates) but then again there are better things

This morning when I was pouring myself a bowl of granola, I noticed there was a box of Barbie cereal on the counter. I then put my bowl of granola and began investigating this "pink" box of cereal. I then saw that Kellogg's made this cereal and the cereal had marshmallows. How low can Kellogg's go to get my precious dollars? I then realized that my wife probably gave in to my daughter

After a lot of prodding from my wife Michelle, I ended up going to the Podiatrist to have my calluses on my left foot looked at. It's embarrassing to get your feet looked at. I am glad that I heeded to my wife's advice. Michelle is so wise! Anyway I went to Progressive Podiatrist in Urbana, MD last Thursday May 15th, 2008. She said I had calluses on top of Plantar Warts and her recommendation

I saw a National Geographic Channel advertisement for the Battle of the Kruger YouTube video. I checked out the video tonight and it is truly a wild video. We as humans take many things for granted. We go to the grocery store to buy our steaks, potatoes, rice, and other tasty foods. We don't hunt for our food and we don't get ganged up by the hunted. Thank the Lord for His Grace. If you

I have to say that I was very proud my wife Michelle today. She put up a stand in our front yard and tried to sell drinks, candy and snacks to the folks who came to our little town's festival day. New Market, Maryland had a Spring Stroll today. Our wonderful neighbors set up a Moon Bounce in your front yard for the big occasion. Last night my wife went shopping and bought bunch of snacks and

Yesterday April 26th, 2008, I decided to take my family to downtown Washington, DC and visit the Native American Museum and the Natural History Museum. We, as a family, went to these museums a few weeks ago however Tabitha, my four and a half year old, didn't get to see the Hope Diamond in the Natural History Museum and we didn't see the whole Native American Museum. Anyway yesterday, we

Well I did it and it wasn't easy. For viewers like myself who envy the judges on the cooking contests, I have to say it ain't easy being a judge. As many of you know, I judged two Chili contests. The first one was the Chili Verde contest a.k.a and Green Chili contest. We, the judges, had to judge fifteen bowls of green chili and it was very hard. You had to judge the chili for taste, color,

I witnessed a precious moment today. Tabitha says, "Hey Papa, Did you know I have two papas. One is in Maryland and the other is in heaven". This moment made my day...actually it made my week.

Tonight I went to an orientation meeting for Chili Cookoff Judges. Yes, my wonderful wife Michelle signed me up for this role in a regional Chili Cookoff. The meeting had around twelve judges who will judge the competition. A couple who have been competing in Chili cookoffs for the last thirteen years. They also brought a batch of chili they made for the meeting. Let me tell...It was simply

Okay. Not exactly. I wanted to tell everyone about Friendfeed.com. It's a neat little site I found a few months ago. Like any web 2.0 reader, Friendfeed can read RSS feeds however it's biggest function which I enjoy is the ability to display thumb sized pictures from picture sites like Flickr.com. My wife Michelle for the last few months has been posting pictures on Flickr.com. Friendfeed.com

Last night I spent some time watching the heavyweight boxing title fight. Boy! Was it boring. Wladimir Klitschko was simply using his size 6 feet 7 inches to jab his opponent Sultan Ibragimov who is a mere 6 feet. When I watch boxing, I like to see how fighters adjust to each other and how courageous the fighters are. The Sultan was merely outsized however I did see that he had more heart to

For Valentine's Day, I bought a bag of chocolates for each kid and a large box of chocolates for my wonderful wife Michelle. Chocolate has a special place of endearment in the Moses household.

For the last week and a half, I have been driving to Shady Grove metro station and then taking the red line metro to Metro Center and switch over to the blue line metro. I take the blue line metro to L'Enfant Plaza Metro. This trip takes me around 90 minutes. Other than being away from my family for 3 hours and getting up at 5 am, I have been enjoying my commute.

This morning the Moses family went to Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC.

Sunday January 13th, 2008, my wife and I finally found some time to watch a time. Time is precious when a couple, like us, has three little kids and I spend 11 hours a day working and commuting to and from work. The preciousness of time was one of the subtle themes in the movie we watched. The movie The Devil Wears Prada is about a new college graduate who gets a job as an assistant for a very

Today if my mom were alive today then she would be sixty years old. Wow! Time flies by fast. My mom Tabitha was born on December 24th, 1947 in New Delhi, India and she passed away on January 2nd, 1992 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. As I look back and I realize that I didn't spend all of my life with her since she was with my dad and brother in the Middle East while I was India. She was part of my

You might wonder that it is an odd title for a blog entry however I felt it was appropriate. Let me explain. Last week, my daughter was playing with cell phone and she accidentally dropped into the toilet. The phone was pretty much fried after that. I could not use it. And so I went to see my friend Bobby Cherian, who owns a Verizon cell phone store, in Damascus, MD. After twenty minutes of

As I sit down to write this blog, I am at a crossroads in my life. I have been offered a high level, good paying job to work for a US government agency. The position seems to be promising and it seems to offer the intellectual flexibility and creative latitude which I seem to crave since my current job doesn't offer much of that. To build context for this blog entry, let me explain what I do

I have been following the candidates for next year's Presidential Election and I cannot pick any candidate since my views are split across Right and Left. Therefore I have decided the candidates should convince me who I should vote for. This is my stance on the issues.War in IraqThe candidate I pick should have a realistic plan on how and when we should pull our troops from the hostile land. I

Three weeks ago, I have to say that I saw the best boxing fight ever. The boxing fight was between Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler. Wow! It was awesome. It wasn't a typical blood and guts fights where fighters show courage, determination and a will to survive. This fight was more in the "sweet science" category. The lighting fast hand speed, power, the body movement, offense, defense, and

For the last two weeks, I been working crazy hour (70+ hours a week). It 's a been wild. Even though I have spent so many hours working, I have enjoyed my work. I have working with the Oracle database and various java apis. The part I hate is that I don't get to spend time with my family. My kids are growing up so fast. I am glad this crazy schedule ends this Friday Nov. 15th, 2007. Anyway

Today I bought the movie, Meet The Robinsons, at Best Buy for $14.99 plus tax and in the evening the Moses family-minus Michelle and Patricia since they went to a Southern Living House Party- watched the whole movie. I really like the Disney movie since it is funny, touchy, imaginative, great graphics and overall a good plot. I first watched movie on American Airlines flight to Seattle from

For the last few weeks and months, I have finally decided what I want to do with my career. I am happy with my decision. For the past years, I was at a crossroads with my career.

Yesterday my wife Michelle and I celebrated our 5th year anniversary of our marriage. It's been five years of bliss. I am content with what the Lord has blessed me with. A beautiful and healthy family of a wife and three little munchkins. I cannot even believe my oldest is 4 years old. Hey Tabitha slowed down alittle will ya!

From August 27th, 2007 we, the Moses Family, have been in Seattle, Washington visiting my parents who moved there early this year. It is a beautiful city. We did alot of sightseeing with our three little kids. We went to the Space Needle, Argosy Cruise, Mount Rainier, San Juan Islands and (my favorite) Seattle Mariners' baseball game [boxscore from the game I attended]. I love the tall pine

Well you may know that it has been a while since I wrote my blog entry. What can I say. I have been swamped at work and at home. Time doesn't stop until I write a blog entry. Instead time marches on to the beat of tic, toc, tic, toc.As time continues to march on, I am close to wrapping up my fantasy baseball season where I am back into playoff contention and I am getting ready for the fantasy

After years of ridiculing folks who play Dance,Dance Revolution (DDR), today I finally bought the game and the gamepad for my PS2. I figured it is a good way of staying home and trying to workout. No, No, I didn't buy it to be a DDR expert but rather use it as an excuse to work out. In my hectic schedule, I don't have time to go to the gym or even have time to run. I believe the game should be

It's be over a week since I did my last blog entry. The truth is that I have busy at work and family and I have not had any time to write a new blog entry until now. The only interesting thing that happened this week was that my son Seth Josiah Moses turned two years or 730 days. To celebrate this day, I took him and the rest of the family to Mikayo, a Hibachi grill restaurant. The Hibachi

Web 2.0 is the vision of many technology visionaries where they believe businesses do not have to buy infrastructure but rather depend on services to get their business done. I like Amazon's new web service which is called Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Systems can store and retrieve any amount data at a small price ($.15 GB per month).

His name was Leonard but he used to go by the name Lenny. The disturbing part about his death is how he did died. He died in October, 2002 at Springfield, Missouri.

As I remember my childhood, I remember listening to this song when I was five years old. It was a Jim Reeves Christmas song and it used to be played on a tape player almost every morning at my grandmother's house in New Delhi, India.

Yesterday my sister-in-law sent me an email wanting me to join her network at IconBuffet.com. I therefore joined the network to see what it is all about. It is a network where people get and trade icons like baseball cards. Sounds ludicrous? It might be so but it is a good place to need icons for your website.

I know it is hard to be disciplined to blog everyday or every other day since sometimes we don't have time to write, we don't have anything to write about or we are simply not inspired to write. I admit I struggle with it but I also realize that the longer you wait to write then harder it is to blog.Anyway back to today's blog.Lately couple of my friends are harassing me that I am pinless and I

This evening while I was driving home, my mind wandered to the Florida Keys. My wife (who just started a new blog), my kids and I went to Florida nine months ago and we spent couple of days in the Keys. As I was stuck behind a long line of cars going at 35 miles per hour, I thought of the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the warm sun, the drive on the 7 mile bridge, the horizon where the sky

Have you ever watched the show "South Park"? I personally have watched maybe ten minutes of a show when I was in college which was eight years ago. I didn't like the show at all since I thought the humor was crude and frankly terrible. The worst part was the animation. I didn't like the style.Well my friend Eric found this web site http://www.sp-studio.de which lets you create South Park

As we in America cheer our alma mater's men's college basketball to victory for the next two weeks, there are people in the Carribean who are celebrating every out or every run for their beloved West Indies cricket team. Cricket?! Yes cricket indeed-- a game played on a "pitch" (a prepared patch of ground which is in the middle of a circular field). The West Indian team is hosting the

I know that the title is boring for a blog entry but it is hard to come up with the title for a day which is summed with numerous activities. The activities are:Went to Church and heard a sermon on ObedienceBought a Fantasy Baseball MagazineDrafted my Fantasy Baseball team while I was on the phone with my league members who are in Kansas City, Missouri.

Last night I was surfing the internet and I ended up at my friend's Dave Everhart myspace page. He had background music which I had never heard and I liked it. It was Loro by Pinback. Here are lyrics to the "song" Loro. I like it. Since my buddy Eric Copen and his wife went to San Francisco, I decided add this cool video about San Francisco with Loro playing in the background. Enjoy!

I have been enjoying a series on Gallery HDTV which is called, "The Private Life of a Masterpiece". It is an old BBC show which has been recreated for HDTV. It's an amazing show. I have always been an art lover and I am the type of person who can sit in front of a painting and view it, ponder on it, reflect on it and basically use it as a literary tool. My wife and friends sometimes don't see

On February 24th, 2007, a dear old man from our church passed away. Usually when you tell someone that you are going to a funeral or when someone passed away, the answer mostly is ,"I am sorry" or "Sorry to hear that". Anyway I told about the old man to a Christian brother I know and he said "Good for Him" and then he said "I am happy for him." I was taken back by his comment since you hardly

Johannes Peter Wagner is considered to be one of the best to ever to play Major League Baseball. He was a short stop who:won eight batting titles in the National Leaguelead the National League in RBI and stolen bases five timesA career .329 hitter with 722 stolen bases. He was also known for his defensive skills. Now that's pretty good. Don't you agree? The reason why I am writing about "The

Who is David Wong? I worked with David Wong at Grants.gov where he and I worked on XML Forms using XFDL. He was a pretty good developer. Anyway I also periodically read David Wong's website.

If I had to write to the Prime Minister of United Kingdom Tony Blair then what would I write to him about? Would it about his decision to join the US in "I-rack" (Iraq) or would it be about Faulklands or about the ridiculous Gas (Petrol) tax in English cities? Frankly I don't know. I would pass on the opportunity.Nevertheless yesterday I saw a letter in my mailbox which was addressed to:Prime

This afternoon I drove my mother-in-law back to Philadelphia (Philly) and it was a long drive. First of all we ended up getting lost in Philly and therefore we drove for another hour before we reached our destination, my mother-in-law's home. While driving through Baltimore, I came across two vehicles which had the logo of Enoch Office Equipment. I immediately knew that Enoch Office Equipment,

On Saturday afternoon I took my mother-in-law and two of my three kids to the mall while my wife and the newborn rested at home. After going to the Disney store, I decided to try the new chicken place in the mall. The chicken place was called Pollo Campero which is a latin american chicken place. I have to say that I do enjoy latin american cuisine which includes Taco Bell, Baja Fresh,

On February 6th, 2007 at 1:49am, the Good Lord blessed us with our third child Patricia Grace Moses. When she was born, she was 7lb 5oz in weight and 20.5 inches. Time flies by so fast since I still remember holding my first child Tabitha Moses in my arms. Patricia looks alot like Tabitha and I am looking forward to raising her. Since time flies by fast, it won't be long before Tabitha and

It's couple days before the Super Bowl XLI. It's time. All the Super Bowl hype and predicating on who is going to win the big game. My friend Eric posted an entry on what to get for his Super Bowl party. Boy I am excited.Unfortunately I am not writing about football but rather I am writing about America's favorite sport (atleast in the dog days of summer) . I am writing about baseball. As an

(Please install Google Earth before you click on couple of the links - Thanks)Today I updated my Google Earth desktop client and then I decided to surf the world. I first went to view the Pyramids in Egypt and then surfed other places in northeastern Africa and Sudan. I then went to Libya and clicked on a National Geographic Flash movie on Libya. After watching the video, I was reminded of my

Well here is another entry about the Super Bowl XLI. I am not going to talk about who is going to win, lose, going to get fired or win the MVP award. In this entry I am going to talk about the practical things. Do you want to get tickets to the Super Bowl? If you are then you should go to StubHub.com and buy yourself couple of tickets. While I was writing this blog entry, the tickets ranged

A few months ago I signed up for a MySpace.com account. As I was searching for people, who I know, to increase my personal networks, I came across Don Henderson's (I know him from church) MySpace page. Don has Johnny Cash's "I walk the line" song on his MySpace.com page. It was the first time I heard the song and I really liked it. Unlike Edith Piaf's song, I believe most of you will agree

Last night while I was channel surfing, I came across an Ebay commerical which was playing Edith Piaf's famous song "Non, Je ne regrette rien". I remember first hearing this song in my 10th grade French class and ever since then I have really liked Edith's song and tune. I love Edith's voice and yesterday when I heard the song again, I decided to write about that song in my blog. Here are the

After living in the world comprised of Starbucks stores, it is easy to get tempted by their gourmet coffee. Gourmet Coffee? What is that? According Arabica.com, gourmet coffee is high quality coffee. Hmmm...High quality coffee I guess has a stronger coffee taste, flavor and aroma. I am also guessing that gourmet coffee is made from the best of coffee beans, roasted to perfection, and

Do you remember the days when a loved one is engrossed doing a crossword puzzle and they would occassionaly interrupt you to ask you a question? Do you know the capital for a certain country which is five letters long and it starts with a "B"? When someone asks me a question like that, I wonder who takes their time to create such brain teasers. Do these "crossword creaters" just say, "let
