Welcome to my blog!

The following was my mission statement that I originally established in 1998 hence the use of the word "weblog".  Of course some will call me old because I used hence.  Anyway, it's a blog and I am a blogger.  "This weblog is my online journal. You'll find my opinions on a variety of topics as well as links to other things on the web that I find interesting. When the spirit moves me, I may also include longer essays."

A few ramblings
Boy earthlink knows how to stick it to you. I have to reload all the reunion pictures to a different site because of the 10MB limit on my main site. What a pain. I've started some of it but will have to finish it in the near future. Anyway, I'm going to Alma, MI to check out the city. I applied for a job out there and I'm hoping I get it. I have to get my current house ready for sale. It ought to be fun. My bros and I took my Dad down to the Wright-Patterson air force museum in Dayton, OH last week. It was a lot of fun and Dad seemed to really like it. I can't ask for any more. Still don't know when the ax will fall at my current position at an automotive company but the writing is on the wall. My job could be just as easily done at the call center in Florida. I haven't written to Julie yet. This weekend I'll give it a shot. Does anyone know where she is? I'm sorry I took so long to update this but here we are. Later, M

Suzy
Today I exchange emails with another Gesu alum, Suzy Linahan Leonard (I think) I remember her quite well and her brother Tom and my brother Tim, were pretty good friends. I went to Tom's wedding and then went to the airport and flew back to San Diego. It was fun to be there from what I can remember. Anyway, Suzy is in Tucson and it was good to hear from her. I'm really reaping the benefits of working on this alumni stuff. The Tigers are winning again tonight. Go Detroit.

Julie Nutt
Today I remembered Julie Nutt. I actually thought about her quite a bit before the Gesu reunion but I couldn't find a way to contact her. She was another pretty girl from grade school and she went to the homecoming dance of my junior year. She was a funny, funny person with a big smile, red hair and lots of freckles. The cute kind of freckles; enough to notice but not too many to overwhelm (aka my arms!) I saw she had an address listed in the 25th reunion booklet that Greg M sent me from Texas but that address is at least 8 years old and the message said that she did not respond to the invite. It was probably an old address to begin with.

2nd post
I put a picture with memories back to Venice Beach 1983. We were young and happy as can be. Living paycheck to paycheck but always out doing something. I'm so glad I got to spend time with Jacqui and even took her on 2 dates while her boyfriend was in jail. was I ballsy or nuts? :) She was so beautiful. By far the prettiest woman I met in my 12 years in California. I'm glad this blog is working. Doogie will have nothing on me. Peace.

Day 1
I'm already tired of designing this webpage but I did get it up. Grilled on my new grill today, cleaned the little trees growing in my new gutters, did 3 loads of laundry and went grocery shopping this morning. What I remembered today included the 70's tv show "Westwind" and the tv movie "Zuma Beach". I like what they have in common. I applied at sprint. Peace-out.
