Too many toes
Saturday, 1 October 2005 9:36 A GMT-05
My brother, (one of the triplets) had a large growth on his foot recently. I didn't see it but my mother said it looked like he was growing a sixth toe. Last week he had surgery to remove it. During my coffee break I called my mom to see how he

Aging
Saturday, 24 September 2005 11:59 P GMT-05
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age,
when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age
not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and
evening so large, almost entirely di

It has been less than a year since I started this little blog. The first month I got few hits and only a few more than that the second month. Surprisingly it has grown where right about now it has 10,000 hits. I'm in the process of writing a b
Less Sleep

It looks like I'm going to be getting a lot less sleep. Things are going well with the banjo. I spend part of my practice time working on Scruggs (three finger style) and then switch to Clawhammer (frailing style). My father-in-law has been a g

I couldn’t help but notice that number of invites I have for Gmail
accounts recently doubled in number. Most of the time it sits around
the 50 mark, but the other day it jumped to 100. So if any you folks
want a Gmail account then all you need t
Weddings and Chocolate Fountains
Saturday, 20 August 2005 11:59 P GMT-05
Our good friends daughter got married last Saturday and it was a blast. The wedding was beautiful and everything was the way it should be. They had a wonderful photographer but I took a couple myself just to catch anything missed.
Canoe the Mohican
Saturday, 30 July 2005 11:59 P GMT-05
As vacation winded down we decided to take a canoe trip down in Loudonville, Ohio. I haven't been down there in over twenty years and took Route 301 all the way down to Route 3. It's a beautiful ride and I'm always surprised that the flatness of

and the heat goes on
Wednesday, 13 July 2005 6:44 A GMT-05
Yesterday Hurricane Dennis brought moisture up into our area and the combined heat and humidy did a number on me. I worked until 8:30 pm and had nothing left by the time I got home. I'm on vacation the next two weeks and I need it. Long hours c

The temperature has come down a bit and the body has acclimated so things are much better.Most days are spent listening to books on tape (cd now). Listen as I drive, grab the package, hit the pause button and out the door. I check to see who is goi

Fantastic fourth of July weekend. Saturday I had a chance to catch up on a number of things and so I felt great. Sunday was a family picnic that my sister graciously puts on every year. My niece Brandi gave me some cheap sunglasses that she get
It's Not the heat, it's the stupidity
Saturday, 2 July 2005 9:45 A GMT-05
This week has been brutal. Long hours have been punctuated with terrible heat and humidity. Temperatures hovered in the mid-nineties all week and the humidity made it hard to breathe. Normally working right on Lake Erie gives me the gift of a l
Neat Banjo by the Lake
Sunday, 26 June 2005 6:55 P GMT-05
My day at work is hard work, long hours and boredom. The people I meet are fascinating but I don't really have a chance to have much in the way of conversation. When I was a child I would ring doorbells and run. I didn't know it was preparation
Chubby For Life

When I was in my late twenties I started to gain weight. I had been taking karate and was very active. My job was strenuous and yet I was gaining weight steadily. I went to the doctor and he told me to eat less. I watched what I ate and yet t
