It is now 9:25pm, Sunday the 25th of November. I cleaned up my office/library, moved the computer to a more accessible place, straightened out all my bookshelves (so I can now FIND things), and actually found time to replace my old web site.

    You will notice that my new web site does retain a number of components from the previous one, but all-in-all the web site structure is new, and it will be much easier for me to make updates to it. I still hope to add in some sophisticated items such as FLASH5 animation, but for now I am satisfied to just be up and running again, and to have a means to quickly pass our latest news and snapshots to friends and relatives around
the world!

    A few months ago, Dale and I realized a dream we've had for decades, and we purchased a condominium in Florida. It's located on the Gulf Coast (Gulf of Mexico)on Cortez Road, Bradenton just north of the Sarasota line. We can get to the beach (Bradenton Beach on Anna Maria Island) in three minutes, and we have our own boat dock on a canal right behind the condo - a straight shot to the Palma Sola Bay on the IntraCoastal Waterway behind Anna Maria Island. We are now trying to fly down there as often as possible to enjoy it. We are also fortunate that Southwest Airlines flies directly to Tampa from Baltimore - and they offer cheap tickets almost all the time!

    I will try to get this new site "operational" by the end of the week, and I'll be adding a lot of snapshots of us here in Maryland and in Florida. For now, bear with me please!
