Holy Cow! School is already out for this academic year and we're headed into Summer. Where does the time go? It's a milestone year for the Boy. Benjamin graduated from 8th grade. So I guess there will be veiled references of Subiaco over the next couple of months.
GO TROJANS!
A there are couple of family Promotion pictures under the Photographs tab. Oh yeah, and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ME!April 2010
I've got to a better job on updating this dang website. Wishing everyone a "Happy New Year!" in April is bound to receive a few mixed reactions, and that's putting it diplomatically.
It's been a great year so far because we have already checked off a couple of items on Kim's Bucket List. We went to San Francisco recently and caught "Wicked" at the Orpheum Theatre. We also had a chance to take a day trip to the Carmel and Monterey area. The Monterey Aquarium was at the top of the trek's to-do list. I've included some images from these events under the Photographs tab.
Ben has his 8th Grade promotion in June. One of his prenultimate activities was a class trip to Washington, DC and New York City. (Why didn't we get to do anything like that at Bristow?)
He had a great time and learned alot. It's a big world out there.
Brenna has moved forward with her studies and is now a Junior at Cal Poly. (Holy Cow!) She's still making A's in all of her classes.
Emmerson turns Nine on the 26th of this month. It's all we talk about at the moment. I'm protesting and declaring that I won't recognize the anniversary because she promised me when she was three that she wouldn't grow up. From what I can tell, she's reneging. Happy Birthday, Cheater!

Ever been to Asilomar? It's a rustic conference center on the coast just outside of Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA. I just returned from 10 days there directing two different projects. Carmel is considered one of the most beautiful places on Earth, but after that length of time it was starting to get to me. Asilomar
I did get a chance to visit Carmel's Harvest Food & Wine Festival while I was away. Pat Mulvey, LMA's Director of Business Development, and I had a great time. I'm including some photos under the Photographs tab.
We also had a chance to stroll around Pacific Grove, CA for a bit. Kim and I spent our Honeymoon there and I've included a couple of photos of Lover's Point and the Bed & Breakfast where we stayed. You might recognize the Seven Gables Inn. It was featured in a Visa commercial a couple of years ago.
Many Birthdays this month. Best wishes to my late Mother, Almeda, my Mother-in-Law, Charlotte Severin, my Sister-in-Law, Juliana Frey, my buddy, David Smeltzer, my dear friend, Debbi Reinschmiedt and my favorite twin brother, Thomas Coberg.

Three out of four of my sisters have Birthdays in September.
Casey (9/11), Soozie (9/20) and Mari (9/23). Happy Birthday Girls! For me, each of them have their own special place in my heart and my memories. Thank you for bringing me up! (You wing nuts.)
July 2009
We're off to the North Shore of Tahoe for the 4th of July Weekend /Vacation as we've done for the last 17 years. We spent yesterday with Kim's family celebrating her brother and sister-in-law's (Jack & Myrna) 17 year wedding anniversary. It was an all day BBQ & pool party. I'm still full.
Happy 4th of July!
My new favorite website. These guys are hilarious. The Todd & Tyler Radio Empire.
I can totally do this. Basketball foward flip shot.
My son, Ben, completed his football tryouts for this upcoming season last weekend. He's 13. 5'5". 147lbs. 25 pushups (30 seconds). 40 yards (4.5 seconds). He's getting tall, fast & good looking. (Thank goodness for Kim. She's flushed out the Coberg gene pool!) See Ben under the "Photographs" tab for a recent picture. Sorry Subiaco. He's resisiting attending. Thank his Mother for that, Subi.
Well, my shoulder surgery was successful, May 26th. I now have two things I would wish on my worse enemy. The first is food poisoning. The second is shoulder surgery. Holy cow, that hurt. As they were wheeling me in, one nurse said, "You know, shoulder surgery is the most painful elective surgery that you can have." I said, "What? You're kidding me? You're just now mentioning this?" She said, "You didn't ask." There is a special place in hell for nurses like her.
I posted a picture of me under the "Photographs" tab after I got home. I look like the Bionic Man with half of a football shoulder pad. It consists of a shoulder immbolizer and a cryo-cuff (ice pack). I'm on painkillers and look very happy. I've also included a frame grab of the actual procedure. My Doctor videotapes his work. Check out the blue cable. It's anchoring one thing to something else. He told me what, but I was never good at paying attention. Let's just blame it on the painkillers...or the fact that Mom loved Thom more.
A note from my Brother, Richard. I thought this was cool.
Liliata rutilantium te confessorum turma circumdet: iubilantium te virginum chorus excipiat
(May the crowd of joyful confessors encompass thee; may the choir of blessed virgins go before thee.)
"Love and best wishes to all of the Coberg Children as we edge closer to the cliff."
(Ain't that the truth, brother. Let's all hold hands! and JUMP! - Thaddeus)
I've included a couple of other memories under the "Photographs" tab.
Kim and I spent the first weekend in May at Mendocino, CA celebrating her Birthday. It rocked. We had a great time. Headlands Inn
Mother’s Day was spent with Kim’s mother, Charlotte, and the immediate Severin family. We brunched at the Railroad Café in Livermore, CA. We always enjoy these get-togethers. But here’s to my mom, Almeda Slaymaker Coberg! Someone once asked my older brother, Richard, if he’d ever be half the man our mother was? He, my brother Thom and I can only wish. Happy Mother’s Day, Mama! (See her picture under the Photographs tab.)
Our youngest daughter, Emmerson, celebrated her First Holy Communion recently. We are very proud of her accomplishment. Another bride for the church! I've included a couple of pictures of the event under the Photographs tab.
Emmerson also wants to thank our Swedish Cousin, Lennart, for his sweet thoughts on her birthday!
