At Last!

This is it! Today's the day! Tina is finally going to be home today!! Man, it's been a long 9 weeks! I've got the rest of the week off too! If I had a tail it would be waggin'! Remember the cartoons of Snoopy with his head up, arms out, and feet dancin' all over the place? Yup, that's me!

Looks like we finally sold our house! It's been on the market for 11 months today. Naturally we are not getting what we owe on it, so I don't know how that will play out, but at least the bulk of it will be gone! For those of you who pray, please do so in our interest. We appreciate it! I am seeing the realtor today to update some financial statements, then we should be closing by the end of April!

Did I mention Tina will be home today?

The time draws near!

Oh my word! Has it really been nearly a month since my last post? I'm slipping!
Well, let's catch up! Tina will be home in 6 days, and I am more than ready to have her back! She is also ready to return home, but is haveing a hrad time realizing she won't see our grand-daughter, or her children, for almost another year. I know how hard that must be.
New on the home front, I have discovered geo-caching! What fun this is. Adam and I set out last week to find a dozen caches. We found two! OK, so I need to hone my skills, but I know Tina is going to enjoy this as much as I do! There is nothing like finding a cache to cement your commitment to the 'sport'.
Re-connected with some old friends last night. I had dinner with Steve and Sharon Kerner. It was really great to talk with them again, it had been a while. Actually, it has been a while for many friends since I started going to school 3 years ago. Due to a change in the program at the mortuary school, and a change in my employers rules, completing my degree will take me a couple years longer! Onward!

Just another month

Yipppeeee, one more month and Tina will be home! Man, it seems like forever! But, hey, I've got plenty to keep me busy! I work, eat, sleep, poop, and repeat! Wow, I sound like somebody's dog! Another week drawing to a close with rainy weather for the weekend. That's OK, it's better than snow! Amy goes in for surgery on Friday morning, then she have a workable knee once again! Gotta go to Boston though, ick! Better you than me Mike!! Tina is having a ball in Malaysia! This weekend wraps up their Chinese New Year celebration! The whole family will get together and dine on delicious home made delectables made by her very able brother! Me? I'm gonna have a hot dog. Hey! I'll put duck sauce on it!! The airline industry took another hit this week. UPS is laying off pilots, and British Airways Flight Attendants have voted to strike, though no date was set...yet! Fly people, spend that money! Oh yeah, we don't have any! And if we did, we'd spend it all on airline tickets and have nothing to spend when we got wherever we'd go! Oh well, in the immortal words of Dorothy Gayle, "There's no place like home!"
(you didn't know her last name was Gayle, did you?)

Fourteen Days!

Oh my word, it has been fourteen days only! I have to wait 6.5 more weeks before Tina gets home! UGH! Well, OK, I'll survive, but I sure wish I was in Malaysia with her! For one thing, it would be alot warmer! Thankfully I have things to keep me busy. I have family, and jam sessions, and work (ick), and school, and OH YEAH...homework!
Heard enough complaining? Right....


I spoke to Tina yesterday. She is having a grand time, for which I am truly happy. I do know how wonderful it is over there! I am looking forward to a music jam Friday night, and worship time on Saturday with folks I dearly love. Then, Saturday night with my folks for a little dinner and some tv viewing. Life is good!

What a week

Tina left for Malaysia on Tuesday, and I began school on Wednesday! Already there ia a ton of homework...ick! I haven't heard much from my good wife, so she must be having a good time, or she's incredibly tired from that arduous journey! Probably the latter! School is going to be very interesting this semester. I took World Religions, which would generate much homework as I knew. I also took Art Appreciation thinking 3 easy credits and very little homework. Wow! Was I ever wrong about that! Not only is there alot of study, it all has to be done online! I hate online courses! Had I known, I would have avoided this class! Poo poo on me.
Today I'll go see Em at her track meet. She was disappointed about here performance last week, so I hope she does better this week. We will see! After that, some yummy pizza with my loved ones in fellowship! Yipee!
Till next time...

No Complaints!

HERE COMES FRIDAY!!! Can't wait! Tina and I will be going to a NH jam session! Then we'll spend Saturday with our loved ones for worship time! This is Tina's last weekend here before she goes home for the next 8 weeks! Luckily, I have school to keep me busy. STILL, I'd rather be in Borneo! Oh well, No Complaints! Life is good!
See ya!

First week down!

OK, the first work week of 2010 is over and done with! I managed to work half of it anyway!! There's a jam tonight at the Cockpit Cafe! I love jam nights. Just a few days until Tina departs for Malaysia...for 2 whole months : ^ ( It'll be a long one!
Almost Super Bowl time!!
