Goodbye Mom
On the first day of Summer 2023 (Wednesday 6/21) my mother, Janet B. Jump, concluded her journey that on this world began in 1934. By all accounts she ended her time as a pleasant if not outright entertaining person, after an extended period with continually progressing dementia. This was not a surprise ending and please […]

Ted’s NoSoX 2023 Ride
Just to start this off I could not have done this without the support of my wife Maria, she was tremendous, leading-up, during, and after. It all started with just wanting to get back my cycling closer to where it should be to keep myself happy & healthy (mentally and physically). So, i’ve been ramping […]

Well, begin the next great chapter!
Hi there intrepid readers, it’s been years since I checked in, maybe I’ll be better, who knows? Here we are, finally fully relocated to North Carolina, after a long stretch of having a separated household. In the spring Mrs Bear landed a new job, teaching in Charlotte at Northeastern University, which she started at came […]

Welcome to 2015

7 Months Later
It hasn’t been a static 7 months, but we just don’t seem to diver time to maintaining the blog a whole lot. Too bad. Highlights… Maria coached her first group of students to a successful ACM Programming competition, a regional level competition held locally here at Wilkes University. The King’s group managed to do better […]

May Again
It seems to me that life is always going to be bittersweet. Good with Bad. Yin with Yang. This month, along with celebrating another great year with Wife I get to remember and have the feelings surrounding the deaths of Dad, Aunt Betsy, Aunt Millie, and friend Anthony all together. I suppose that each year […]
