What's New?

December 14, 2005: I get promoted and transferred to DC. Me and my Ranger Buddy (my 125-lb Newfoundland black lab) depart and are enroute to Washignton, D.C.































































































































Receive offer to sell my house within four days being on the market.































































































































Have placed an offer to buy a house in suburban DC and close on it in early March.































































































































I believe in God, Angels, the Communion of Saints and also the Power of Prayer. Please say a prayer for me for this new chapter of my life. Thanks to all the support from family, friends and coworkers (If you are within The Circle of Trust you know who are you! THANK YOU).































March 15: One month after the injury I can both run and walk. Thank you.















March 1 Update: Closed on house.



September, 2007: Bought new king-sized bed and Weber BBQ. Entertained close "second family" relatives over Labor Day weekend. It rained for much of the early part but had great time.



October, 2007: A month I'll never forget because I went home twice. First trip was as godfather for my niece's baptism. Dad wasn't doing well and didn't know how my parents were going to make it thru the brutal midwestern winter. Second trip was very tumultous for my family. My dad had a stroke, was admitted to hospice and eventually died. During all of it my older sister had a massive stroke resulting in paralysis along entire left side of her body. Many miracles happened. She was evacuated by helicoper to major regional medical treatment facility (MTF) and she fulfilled threshhold eligibility requirements for the clotbuster TPA. She was home for my dad's funeral and then flown back to east coast via an Angel type flight. After eight weeks of acute medical care and rehabilitation in a nursing home she was discharged. Please keep her and my family in your prayers.

July, 2007: I've gotten a new hot tub (free) and will be installing it soon after a concrete pad is poured and electrical connection made.
