Welcome!

If you're looking for what I'm up to on a daily basis, well, maybe weekly anyway, you've come to the right place.  As I write this entry it is a little over a week until Christmas (2014) and the hustle and bustle is in full swing.  I've actually wanted to write for a blog (my own anyway) for a few years now.  I never could quite find the time (and quite frankly, I never really thought anyone but me, and maybe my wife, would read it).  However, circumstances led me to this outlet for posting some of my weekly photos as well as keeping family and friends up on what's happening in my life.  The specific incident that led me to this point was a complete loss of faith and interest in Facebook (for reasons I won't go into here).  Of course, most of my family and friends are on Facebook, so I will miss them.  But, it is my hope that some will come and visit me in this small corner of cyberspace and maybe even leave me a comment or two.

Here is my son "Going for the Gold".  This is a program where we read together every night and "medals" are given out at the end of the month based on how many cumulative minutes he has read (700 min=bronze, 900 min=silver, 1200 min=Gold).  So far his favorite book (or series) is the graphic novel "Amulet" by Kazu Kibuishi.  We are anxiously awaiting volume 6 from the library...
