Lions Win One

Well, its been a long NFL season already for me and I havent done much posting about it. That ‘s cause my team, the Detroit Lions, are off to another very poor start. Today, they finally managed to win one and take their record to 2 – 6. I am an avid fan of the […]

Cheerleading Competition

Today was the County cheerleading competition for Savannah’s cheer team.  The girls are the cheerleaders for Sean’s football team.  Suzanne is the cheer coach. Last year, the girls won the competition.  This year, however, was going to be tougher as several of the older girls on the team moved up in age group and for […]

Travel Woes

I am back from latest business trip. This was supposed to be a quick and easy trip, but as usual things happened. The plans called for me to fly to Virginia on Wednesday morning and then return late Thursday night. I was a bit fearful when I made my plans to fly on Delta Airlines. […]

Website Moves

I recently made the decision to move my websites (four in production with fifth in planning) to a new host and new server. This decision didnt come easily. I wasnt really all that happy with the current host. They (hostingplex.com) had gone through many rough areas. I had been with them for about 15 months. […]

Genealogy Contact
