Almost Halloween

Here it is Saturday the 29th, weather is getting better and may be pretty good for halloween. We have to decorate the outside of the house yet but will get it done this weekend.

I started this week writing my annual Christmas poem for my wife (Dot). They don't come as easily as they used to or I would write more poems than just Christmas andAnniversary like I do now.

Good Week

This Wednesday my oldest granddaughter has her 11th birthday. It is really hard to believe how the time has flown; I still think of her as a toddler at most.

We just got back from Ausable Forks NY where we went up so my wife could attend a baby shower for the daughter of one of her relatives. It was a great trip.

The Kids

Danny recently took a new job with Mountain Media. He loves it and from what we see it looks like a company he can really grow with. They design websites and do web hosting etc and boy does that sound interesting to me as I have dabbled a bit with html and style sheets.

Dana is still going to school at Roger Williams University where he is studying Marine Biology. He is doing very well despite the really hard subjects he is having to take, subjects that he has to study almost 24/7 to pass. He has put in a lot of work in this.

Presbyterian Church

Over the years I have tried out a number of churches and last Sunday went to a Presbyterian church in Cohoes. I grew up in a Presbyterian church. This one wasn't the same formal service I was used to and expecting - it was very loose and well, different. It was friendly but I have to think about this one and then maybe decide whether it is for me or not.

They mentioned something call a "Purpose Driven Life" which I think is a book. I may have to look that up to see what it is all about.

Long Weekend

Labor day weekend is here and the grandkids will be going back to school very soon. . . and they are not too happy about it. I am sitting here watching a rerun of Monk on TV and boy it is very very funny.

I have to report to Jury Duty on Tuesday the 6th. I don't look forward to it but I guess I will survive it.

War Of The Worlds

A week or so ago we went to see the War of the Worlds movie and we both loved it. I had some reservations about it since I love the old version with Gene Barry but I soon changed my mind.

Fathers Day

This is fathers day and I plan to do nothing!

New Laptop

Well for fathers day I got a new laptop (ok I got it early) and am in the process of setting it up. I put most of my personal files on CD's and put a lot of them on the new laptop but am going to leave the others on Cd and only load them if I really need them. I am now downloading Open Source Office to load on my new computer . .. it's free and is pretty good.

Hmmmm - not yet

I haven'e quite gotten the hang of posting pictures using Hello yet.
I will keep trying. Much to your chagrine. . .
