Thaad got some medals in rowing

Thaad arrived home Saturday May 26, 2006, and proudly showed us three medals (two bronze and one silver) he and his teamates got from a rowing regatta where their school competed. He is currently a novice in the Riverview H.S. rowing team and for more than a month has been frustrated that his team has never won any comptition medals. They have been practicing for about three months now and competed for the last eight or so weeks. The kids in this school are lucky since we live near the big Detroit river that connects Lake Huron/St. Clair to Lake Erie and there is an established boat club (Wyandotte Boat Club) that sponsors rowing teams in nearby schools.

Thaad's Confirmation Feb 4, 2006

Dang is not feeling well today

Dang is not feeling well today. She did not go to work and her other co-worker quit because of some personal problems. I took this picture while she was lying down on the sofa watching a soap on TV. Still beautiful after all these years.

Tomorrow, May 25, will be our 21st wedding anniversary. Since Dang is sick we will have to have a low key celebration.

Thaad did not go to school today because he is not feeling well. He rowed and played volleyball for almost two hours yesterday. The two girls are also home the whole day except when Jas had an appoinment for a job interview later in the afternoon.

I was also home because of a mixup in my work schedule. I was supposed to have an appointment but I got the wrong date so I was one week ahead and just went home instead. Lucky I had a a printout of the appoinment meeting and saw that the date was incorrect. What a day!

My first Blog!

I really do not want to do this as i'm lazy to update this thing. This activity requires your constant attention to make it relevant. But I guess this is the quickest way to update those who care to know what's happening with me to have a place to get in touch quickly.

I hope to keep things short here and this will probably exist just so friends and family can easily get in touch with me. I have some issues too with privacy and ownership of information so let's just see.

Poke around at your own risk. You have been warned.

Thanks.
