Hmmm.  Earthlink is not allowing the postings I wrote today to update.  It seems silly to complain about here since either it won't work and you can't read my complaining OR it will work and my complaining was premature.  Jeepers, I can't believe I've been so loyal to Earthlink.  In time, in time....

Also, my Dad, Charlie recently passed away after a long slow decline in his health.  I'm so grateful for having him in my life and I truly believe he is as close to a saint as I have known.  I'm so glad that I returned to Michigan and was able to spend so much time with my parents.  There's a link to his beautifully written eulogy (by my brohams: Bill & John) at macdelavenice.com.  Peace be with you Dad.   

Well I registered macdelavenice.com today.  How exciting!  For today, I just forwarded it to my existing earthlink webpages but the plan is to be free of earthlink by the end of July 2008.  I hate to give up my email address that I've had for over a decade but that is a small price to pay I suppose.  My buddy, Chris has been tremendously helpful in all this stuff and we're looking forward to further online experimentation.
