This site has been on the web since December 26th, 1995! Yep, that’s right\u2014this digital relic is older than most of the people browsing it. I retired and thought it might be fun to keep a running blog about our activities so we could look back and share with some friends. I try to write the blog every morning to recount the previous day’s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life certainly changes as we move forward.\u00a0 Sue and I were together for over three decades, and I lost her in February 2020 after a long series of illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n

My life has been blessed. I was remarried to a beautiful lady, Dr. Mary C\u00f4t\u00e9, whom I had known since the late 1990s. Dr. Mary C\u00f4t\u00e9 and I married in July 2021, and throughout this time, I kept the blog going. She proofreads it and giggles every morning at my poor attempt at truth and humor.<\/p>\n\n\n

I plan to keep it going because it reminds me of where I have been, and I often use it to find past events.\u00a0 Join the fun, and feel free to comment as we go along our many paths!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are celebrating six years of marriage, and we are having more and more fun each year!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I (we) feel very blessed to be in great health for our age, full of energy, and supported by a wonderful family (with a few exceptions; every family has a few!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will keep you posted!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
