Arizona




Here are a few of the pictures we took on our recent trip to Arizona. We took a long hike in the desert, went to a couple of Brewer baseball games, and had a great time with most of Toni's family!
The weather was mixed. Early in the week, it was colder in Phoenix, then it was in Wisconsin!

But it soon climbed back into the 80's, so all's well, that ends well.

Final word on my Birthday!

Final word on my Birthday!
I had such a great vacation down in Florida this year, and I just wanted to say thank you, the wonderful woman I married, that made it all possible! Thank you Toni. You're the greatest!

NASA Visit


Good day gentle reader. Have I told you about my recent trip to NASA, in Florida? Well, during our trip to Florida in February, Toni and I went to the Kennedy Space Center. We got to visit the rocket garden, 2 Imax Theatre's which featured films on the international space station, and the history of the space shuttle. They had amazing exhibits. Many featured inter-active features to excite young visitors and encourage them to enter the field of science.

Alas, the average age of a visitor to the space center, was older then Toni and I. I guess kids today, don't even know the names or exploits of our famous astronauts, who risked everything while trying to pave the way to a better future. It's a shame we have no space program any more!

*Sigh*

Back from Florida

WOW! Its been a long time since I've written a new blog! I just got back from 10 days in Orlando Florida! Got to see and do lots of things. Had a wonderful time. Didn't get to do everything I wanted, didn't get to see everyone I wanted. But, overall, a heck of a vacation!
