Jeepers.  I didn't realize I couldn't go back and edit my previous postings.  Therefore, I apologize for the difficult read some of my spelling errors may make for you.  I even had trouble following my rambling sentences with a few, choice typos.  That is all. Peace.  Now, that is all.

The Algonquin Club meeting last night at the Windsor Airport was interesting.  The guest speaker was discussing plans to honor the Windsor are veterans of war (any war back to the mid 18th century) by building a military aircraft museum.  Among the features, and state in this order were: a space to display refurbished planes, an extensive military archive and a pub.  That's right, a pub.  I've been to many different museums around the country and even the few that have "spirits" available, did not have a full service pub.  I have to hand it to them Canadians for knowing their audience.

 

The editor of our newsletter also introduced the webpage I had been working on for several years (www.algonquinclub.info) and I think he may have tried to most of the credit.  I guess if he wants to edit it, then I have no problem with it.  We'll see how that all turns out.  Actually, it was fun to creat but I have since lost interest in maintaining it.  Wisely, I kept control of the domain name for the next 10 years.

 

Tonight is the 2009 Gesu Alumni Reunion Party planning committee meeting.  I've been planning to attend but I am still feeling tired after getting home late last night.  It's out in Royal Oak so I think it will be a game time decision on whether or not I attend.  Besides I need to get my haircut.

 

I finally made plans to go apple picking next Saturday.  Apple picking was an annual event when I was a wee lad growing up in Riverview, MI.  I remember the wooden bushels we would fill with apples.  Back then I loved the Mcintosh apples.  Today, I'm more about Golden Delicious apples and Dutch apple pie.  I'm salivating just thinking about it. 

 

Nothing earth shattering to report but I think I've said enough for now.  Peace.

Wow! Life has been very kind to me and I feel compelled to write the words down even if no one else reads them.  Over the past 2 weeks I've been contacted by Cliff Salawage via DM on twitter, Brian Buckholtz via a phone call and Angela Smith via a Facebook invitation.  I was so close to cancelling the email address that Angela used to contact me.  It is so good to know that my laziness (in not contacting earthlink to cnc) has been rewarded.  Strange days indeed.  Back on 9/24/2007, I blogged some names of people that I wished to be reconnected with and now I've been reconnected with 4 of them with nothing more than sending a want and wish out to the universe.  Why do I ever doubt?

 

This post should be relatively short but it is morning and I'm known to be quite verbose as the sun moves westward.  Also, I have to maintain a high pace of "engagements" at my job & the morning is the best time.  So briefly, this weekend I spent Saturday driving & hydroplaning in the driving rain taking my bro Bill out to visit our bro Tim.  Tim has been battling an ankle ailment for nearly 6 months and the doctors can't seem to pinpoint the problem.  He has to use crutches to move around and has to take medicines throughout the day.  Anyway, we watched MSU beat FAU and then watched UofM fall to the lowly Irish of ND.  Thankfully, all was not lost as OSU fell to USC.  Hooray.

 

Sunday, I again drove and hydroplaned but this time to drive to Jackson to take Mom to lunch.  It was good one on one time and I fixed her hardwired smoke detectors.  Two of them were beeping about every 1.5 minutes which apparently was annoying to Mom.  I did get to play the piano that my Mom recently aquired.  Several years ago I made the decision to abandon my piano and focus on the guitar.  I was amazed yesterday at how much of the piano-playing I had retained.  Music is just downright one of the coolest things in the world and I could not live without it.

 

Well, with a smile on my face, I'll close this entry and get back to work.  As always, I am grateful for all that God has given me and I try to stay in a a state of being generous and grateful.  Peace.
