It's great to be back and read a lot of the stuff I've been missing and have an opportunity to stir the pot little. It's really quite amazing
how much you miss the site when you're gone for quite awhile. I've just had an enormous amount of
stuff going on that have created a lot of changes in our lives.

First, I started a second business, and things are just going crazy. I have never been so busy in my life, but it is a lot of fun.

Second, we have had our oldest son and 3 grandkids come to live with us. Yes, I had to make another fast trip to Washington to get them
and get back. We don't know how long this will be
for, but it's both crazy and fun at the same time.

Third, we have our 12th grandkid due April 22. I hope one day to find out how these things happen.
(LOL)

All of this is going to require some changes to our plans for this summer. We're still planning on the reunion at Gene's, but Rolling Thunder is definitely out, for another year. It's just at the wrong time of the year. We're still hoping to
make Branson, but we have a lot of family on my wife's side wanting us to get together with them.
There's only so much time, though we will have more when my wife, finally, graduates in May. If anyone ever asks you if they should enter a dual Masters Degree program, tell them very emphatically NO! I guess that's one of the draw backs to marrying a beautiful younger than me person with brains. I will, however, take all the other benefits. (LOL) I will keep you informed as our schedule becomes more clear, and I will find time to meet Touch on the golf course. Some things are just too high of a priority to be put on the back burner.

By the way, the weather in Omaha has been just great. I had people out on the golf course 3 days
last week and once this week. Definitely spring in Feb. We are not jumping in the pool, however. It's still only hot tub weather.

New England may be very cold and gloomy, but they
do have the Sox and the Pats. I don't think the Celts are quite up to it yet, and the Bruins aren't playing. I guess most areas wouls settle for 50%.

Shoofly
