Well, seems I may have underestimated my popularity in the last post :) I am read up and down the East Coast (Thanks Kim in sunny FL and Robin in the Carolinas). Now if I could just start breaking through into the western states. Hmmm...will have to think if I have any old friends (Yes, I did have friends at one time. Not sure what happened along the way) or maybe even pay someone to be my friend so I can say my blog is read coast to coast.
Anyways, Fall has arrived. I believe this was the last week to do any floating in the pool. I will probably be closing it this week. May also have been the last time to cut the grass which to some people is a chore but to me is a "labor of love". Tammy's mom arrives today from IL for several days. Jaclyn is keeping busy with SAT preparation, school club (Hey, Randi, your not the only one with politically minded children as she is president of the Daniel Club), and church events. Lizzy is doing what Lizzy does best which is lolly gagging as she does her work (school, chores, etc.) so everything takes much longer than it should (No she is not president, vice president, or even a member of anything but then neither is Lauren -- or is she, and Rick just hasn't said anything?!)
Well, that does it for this week's post. (Felt some pressure from Randi's comment to do it earlier but then thought to let her know "good things come to those who wait" so "patience my young grasshopper"). If there are any lurkers out there that read this, please let me know. Could save myself some money especially if you live out west.

Someone Is Interested!
Well, I hadn't updated the blog in awhile because I thought everyone was too busy playing with their Facebook accounts and were not interested in the oh so boring blogasphere anymore. Apparently, at least one person does check back occasionally. (Randi must be too busy hob-nobbing with local politicians and running Madison's new political campaigns. As for the rest of the family, I don't think they even bother stopping by for a visit.)
Tammy and the girls returned from three days of school camp. I got to enjoy the bachelor's life for several days. Coming home and eating a package of cookies for dinner. Floating in the pool to keep up my golden boy image. (Not many days left to do that as the water is turning mighty cold.) Watching what I wanted on the TV.
But as the saying goes all good things must come to an end. So here I sit at the school library at 8pm (which actually is pretty nice because I can use their dictionary to check the spelling of several words) while Tammy photocopies school papers and prepares for her field trip to the ocean Monday; and we both wait for Lizzy to get done with a friend's birthday party at 1030pm.
Hey, thanks for caring and reading this far.

Another Week Has Come and Gone
Well, another week has come and gone. So it is time for a third blog post.
This week I started doing the entire 9am to 2pm air shift by myself as the person training me left for his new job. If you ever get bored and have nothing else to do, you can tune in to WIHS on the internet at wihsradio.org.
The girls are all getting over a cold (sounds a little like Randi's blog except the girls didn't go to the hospital). Tammy is busy with teaching her biology class using BJU material and working at the hospital. Lizzy is busy with school work and projects. Jaclyn is taking some tough courses but has two study halls so gets most of her work done at school. She may be going to Hawaii in April with some friends. All the girls will be gone for a couple of days next week for school camp.

By Request
Apparently, a request has been made by my little brother to discuss him in my blog. (See comments made under earlier blog.) Now, I do realize it has not been a full week since I last posted, but I did not want to disappoint him.
To be honest, I don't know if I can recall how great he is, etc.as his comments requested; but here are some of the things I do recall.
1)When he was about three, he had a fascination with the Incredible Hulk. He would go around the house roaring like the Incredible Hulk and then attack us as we sat and watched television. For Christmas that year, he had to have a Stretch Armstong doll like the Incredible Hulk. (I won't even discuss the Hulk underoos.)
2) Then there was the time when he was around five. Our front door bell rang, and there he was with a toy tool belt on and a briefcase. He said he was going around the neighborhood selling drugs and did we want to buy any. (Hmmmmmm.......)
3)His main source of sustenance was Rice Crispies, and thus that was pretty much the only cereal we had in the house. (Probably the reason why to this day I won't eat Rice Crispies)
4)We shared a bedroom until he was about seven or so. I then moved my bedroom downstairs and pretty much lost contact with everyone in the family after that. I was pretty much only seen at dinner time. Hence the end of my recollections of my little brother.
Well, I hope that makes you happy little brother. Maybe next week I will publish some recollections of my sisters. (Any requests?)
