May 27, 2007 by 2 Comments
We celebrated Memorial Day a day early today. Having to go back to work and school on Tuesday, it made more sense to have the festivities today, instead of tomorrow. Being Sunday, we started the day with Mass at the fire station. We are getting close to building our own church. We have some the […]

Wow! What a busy weekend. It was even a three day weekend for me as it was my Friday off week. Some of the activities though were self-inflicted. I put myself in a hole sleepwise early as I stayed up until 3:30 AM on Thursday night playing America’ Army. That game can be quite addictive […]
Going to Try New Diet
August 4, 2006 by 2 Comments
Suzanne has convinced me to try a new diet. I have never been one to fare well with diets that limit have you eat specific foods at certain times or severely limit your caloric intake. Unfortunately, I have been overweight most of my life. About two years ago, I lost about 50 pounds when I […]
