Yes, it’s Friday…

Yesterday, I was able to go running for a second time. I was going to do the same route and I really did not know what to expect. Would I do better or worse? would it be harder or easier? I suppose it was a little bit easier since I knew more about what I [...]

We had [...]

Throughout the years of being on the Internet I have started a couple of different blogs. Some of them have dissappeared completely while others just sat in limbo. Fortunately, WordPress has made it somewhat easy to import these and I have now combined my other blogs (one from blogger.com and the other from livejournal.com) with [...]

Well, by happenstance Kenny was able to come over yesterday and finish up the flood lights installation. We were worried with the intermittent rain throughout the day but just as we started the sky began to clear.
We had estimated that it would take us about an hour to finish up but it ended up being [...]
