Continued effort of Blog revival....

Hmm...Davey Jones looked bigger on the screen.
Here's what's happened over the past month or so (that I know about)...

Ross is a dad (again). Melissa gave birth to Brett a few weeks back.

17 more joined the former MSCW ranks.

Christy is due in a couple of weeks.

I saw Laura yesterday. She is doing well.

The Phillies won the World Series!

I took Ryan to see the Blue Angels. He LOVED it. I was no longer 'Dad', but 'Dude', a la "Dude, over there!!!"

Dead...or Forgotten...

Is a blog with no readers...or posters really a blog?

Sorta why I have been slacking off lately...

If a blog falls in the forest...and no one is there to read it...

Seriously...is this place dead?

Congratulations!

Not to steal any thunder, but John and Shannon had their child this morning. Baby Jack was born 9:34 a.m. He's 7 lb, 6 oz and 19.5" long. Mom, Dad and baby are reportedly doing great. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of Jack, but....

Not looking good, but...

...if memory serves, Gustav's projected track looks similar (not exact) to what the experts said of Fay's projected track before this happened...

I'm not saying that anyone in LA should cancel their flood insurance policy, I'm just saying there is a chance that those same experts could mess this one up, too.

In the interesting-but-useless facts column...I looked up the names Katrina and Gustav. Katrina is Greek for 'pure'. Gustav is Norse for 'God's staff'. Good luck with this one.

Not funny.

Well, the summer has wrapped up and we're exhausted. The list of activities this year included...Yellowstone and Grand Teton, Philadelphia, Black Mountain NC, soccer camp, spanish camp, reptile and lizard camp, changing jobs and culminating with sending Heather off to Mexico for a week on a mission trip. I'm now officially Mr. Mom. Bonbon, anyone?

I found this little gem on Youtube. Hopefully it works. If so, I'm a genius. If not, blame Ricky. He gave me instructions.

Crane's Roost is inundated. Evidently, it's landlocked with only a pump as its outfall...and the City was ordered to shut the pump off. We used to have a nice little walking trail around the lake with a couple of pedestrian bridges. I say 'used to' because it's all about 4 feet under water. It's strange to look out the office window and see only the tent tops over the walk. I'm not complaining...I could be living in Debary or Deland. At least the tropics are quiet these days....
