MIA

Sorry to have been missing in action for so long. I've been busy at work and home with projects and junk. As most of you know, I'm a grandpa now. My first had her first last Thursday. I'm a bit sick, so I haven't been pressing to go and see them. Plus there is that work thing... The pictures show this to be yet another amazing example of the handiwork of the Lord. All praise is His. Well... maybe a little praise goes to the new mom. She really worked hard!

Not to sound malicious (and many of you probably remember the struggle and heartache in my relationship with my oldest-if not, look in the archives), but it's payback time! Time for this child with a child to start learning how difficult that whole parenting thing really is. She has our full support and can ask us anything. Hopefully she will.

On another topic. I will not be able to attend the United tour, unfortunately. Part of it is ticket prices, part is timing. The venue in our area is a "premium" type venue. An orchestra type theatre. So they jack the prices up to justify the padded cloth seating and extra acoustics. Anyway, seems that the shows are selling out fairly well. I'm glad for that, but sad that those with smaller budgets won't be able to attend.

Topic three.
Thanks to Grace for getting the picture of Shaoey and Stevey on the cover of Homelife magazine. Great shot of the girls and (I'm told) a great article. Pick one up if you can.
