Don’t you love it when someone you’d been thinking about but haven’t been able to find for years all of the sudden calls you out of the blue? I know, it probably doesn’t happen to you often, but it happened to me last night. My best friend from my high school days called me. I [...]

We have made a decisive move to plan the next Dive Turkey – D.T. V. This one will be in Curacao – a place none of us have been yet. There is supposedly a lot of good shore diving as well as some boat diving. Best of all, though, is that there is a Hilton [...]

I know – it’s been a while, but my new job isn’t perfect. I’ve been asked to cancel my reservations for the conference I was planning on attending in California next week. What’s really compounding this issue, though, is that Laura was going with me, so I have to cancel both tickets.

I have a new tooth. I got it yesterday afternoon. The very last tooth in the back had a chip on it. It wouldn’t really have mattered except that it made the tooth sensitive and painful. So: enter the new crown. I had to wear a temporary for little over a week before the final [...]

Hope you all had a happy Easter today. Mine could have been better – that is: if Laura were here, it would have been perfect. I did have a good time today, though. I was invited to several families’ Easter lunch/dinner times so I had plenty [too much, I'm sure] to eat.
Our church did an [...]

This weekend, Laura is visiting her family in North Texas while I’m stuck at home alone. Funny thing, though: I seem to have more to do this weekend than I usually do. I have a list, you see. This list is not a “demand” list but a simple list of things which I could do [...]

Thanks to friends of friends, my parents, Laura and I got to tour the White House on Friday. We didn’t get to go into the West Wing, but the East Wing instead. You would think that the house is big – and it is if you consider it just a residence, but for what it [...]

I have finally saved up enough money to purchase a professional quality lens. It’s the Canon 70-200mm F4L USM lens and while it’s the cheapest of the Canon “L” series lenses, it’s also one of the best. I will now be able to use it to photograph small children or sports [which would be easier [...]

We rented a pair of Harleys to ride on Thursday [which was a blessing as we had to use them to go car shopping!] and that happened to be the day of the best possible weather for the whole week. We [my father and I] took the girls [Laura and my mother] for a ride [...]

In order to properly deal with our vehicular disability, Laura and I purchased a new car. We had previously been car shopping and evaluating with the idea that we would need to make the purchase at the end of Summer. However, that time was pushed forward to this week. We had some specific criteria when [...]
