September 2007 - A Long-Overdue Update

It has been a long time since I have updates my site.  Yahoo finally drove me to it by providing NO support in fixing chronic intermittent email problems I had.

I am working now for an international 911 equipment provider and have had the opportunity to travel to Japan, Qatar, Guam, and Germany.  On my return from Qatar Pam and Kayla met me in London and we made like tourists for a week.

Kayla, who is 9 now and in the 4th grade, spent the whole summer with Grammy and PaPa travelling all over the country.  She got to see 19 States!

In addition to travelling to other countries, I have been able to see a lot of the country myself.  As a bonus I have also had the opportunity to make some side trips to see family in Georgia, Alabama, and Arizona.

We now have two dogs - JoJo (a black lab mutt) and Chessie ( pure-bred Vischla), Baily (Pam's Princess-of-a-cat), two parakeets, and a saltwater reef aquarium.

Pam had a health scare over a lump in her breast but it turned out to be a false alarm.

All-in-all life is till very good and we are always thankful for that.

Notice the thousand-yard-stare Young, wild blonde seeks adventure and Oreos!

You never showed up with that paintbrush! There's still plenty to do!

        My spirit - hanging onto my body by a silken ethereal thread - is waltzing with his spirit - now free - over the water.  We celebrate each other's essence as we swirl like whisps of smoke.  We had life.  We are timeless.

A lovable oaf that had not a single mean bone in his massive body, he was always happy, always up for a game of Extreme Fetch or to go swimming, and he always had a plan to steal our other dog's food or to double back and sample the evening's kitchen garbage.

Biggie Dog - we'll miss you.
