David and I took a short trip to California to visit relatives and just returned Tuesday evening. I’ll share our trip adventures and photos in a few posts…in no particular order. We were in the desert most of the time but had a nice little break in the middle at the beach. Let’s start there….
U.S.A.! U.S.A!
We decided to go watch the U.S. vs. Ghana World Cup match at a local sports bar this evening. David coached soccer for 11 years and during that time I grew to love the game. Chris went, too, along with a few others who had played on David’s team. It’s always more fun to watch…

What I’ve been up to lately…
I keep thinking I’ll get back to regular blogging and then life just keeps zipping along at a breakneck pace around here. And if I do find a bit of time late at night, our #$@*ing internet has slowed to a crawl…no, less than a crawl. More like a glacial pace. I still need to…
When I look back…
While looking for something on my old PC this evening I got caught up in some old emails I had saved. Way back in 2006 a number of us on a Yahoo email list wrote on the topic, “Someday when I look back upon my life…”. This is what I wrote: When I look back…
