Welcome

If you've stumbled onto this page, well just enjoy the ramblings of a middle-aged guy who needs to get off his assets more often. But for the time I'm here I might as well produce something for the internet (I really believe this whole internet thing will take off and be useful!) Feel free to make comments, but be nice!

2011 Update

Wow, it's been over 18 months since my last post. It would be impossible to summarize in a short space how much has happened and is currently happening, but here goes:
Michelle and Steve got married in June, 2010, so they're married over a year now. We now have three grandsons: Triston, James and the latest addition, Marino. Triston and Marino are brothers; Rachel is their mom. James is Nick's son. Don't make me think of their birthdates...it's mind boggling sometimes.

Redford Union Schools is quickly drowning in debt, likely to be taken over by a state appointed Emergency Financial Manager, or F-em, as they're known. Job security is a thing of the past and perhaps retirement, forced or otherwise, is on the horizon.

I plan on writing more often, mostly for self-therapy for the stress of job and family situations. Marino has been diagnosed with scaphocephaly, or a fusing of the skull plates in the head, something not uncommon for preemies, I read. More on that later I'm sure.

What's the good word? The MSU Spartans beat UM for the fourth year in a row, The SL Cardinals just won the World Series, I love my wife and kids, and grandkids. Expecting a visit from Michelle and Steve soon, the weather has been acceptable. We had a great fall camping trip this year to St. Ignace, Michigan. So the year hasn't been a total write off.

More to come!
