Yep the weekend is history. I hope it was a good one for you all. It was a fine one for me and I’m heading into the week with a good attitude and plans for many accomplishments. Well its good to have goals and I’m on a roll with shooting some more as of late. The weather doesn’t look that great and the work week will take its normal brutal toll, but I’m undeterred.

This way.

So off we go into the unknown. Well we do have one known this week. We are going to start it the way we ended the last week, in pain. Such is life, never going to let that stop me. Well can’t say never, but don’t intend to slow down this week.


I can’t end this post without proper thanks to my family. Especially my better half. This Easter Sunday was a wonderful day. The children came over and the family was complete. But my wife makes all events, not just this one special. All of them and for all of my life. I don’t know how she does it. Well yeah I do, with a lot of hard work and thought and effort.

She is creative, thoughtful and dedicated.


Random Thoughts of the Day

I can’t imagine having a lot more money. I have trouble managing the little bit we do have now.

Getting trees taken down is expensive if you’re not doing it yourself.

A friend of ours mother passed away. Made me think about losing my own again. There is no substitute for Mom’s.

I’m excited about the National Championship game on Monday night. But that results in the start of withdraw season. We watched the first game together and we will watch the finals together. And there will be yelling and laughing and much joy no matter who wins.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
