Alive and Kicking ...

Way too long between posts.  I convinced myself that if I wanted my posts read, then I would post on FACEBOOK.  FACEBOOK has so much traffic that anything that I posted would likely be overlooked and forgotten.  So as long as GOOGLE keeps BLOGSPOT alive I'll keep posting here ... at least once in a while.

Status:  Still employed and solvent; still obese (100+ pounds of blubber), still married and living in Elgin.

January news:  ... Uh-h-h-h...winter & work?
February news:  Winter, work, Kaylee's birthday party, Paul's birthday ... our 24th wedding anniversary
March news:  More winter & work & Lila and I visited Anne and met her daughter Vickie (see note below).  Vickie stayed with us over her Spring Break.

Lila and I are in her car driving to Sheboygan, WI to meet with Anne.  Anne moved to Sheboygan about 4 weeks ago.  Her daughter Alexandra (18) then returned to Carson City NV with Alexa's boyfriend and his father the next day.  Anne stayed with her husband Dan for about three weeks but moved to Safe Harbor women's shelter with her daughter Victoria (13) after complaining of “bruises” that she attributed to Dan.  Lila and I had hoped to meet Victoria this weekend but Vickie is visiting her paternal grandmother with her father (Dan) this weekend.

... And Elgin had snow ... see below.

April news:  I filed our income tax returns.  Spring is cold so far.  I saw snow flurries yesterday morning.
