Misc.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted to this blog. I need to figure out how to add my template to this site. I know I can change the CSS so I’ll play around with that later. For right now I need to focus on my Java class.

I promise I’ll make my next post more usefull than this one!

2006.10.28 Lake Michigan Wind

Our electricity was out for several hours during a wind advisory, so we drove to South Haven to get pizza.  I like to drive past the Lake when we’re there.  The wind storm was creating large waves on Lake Michigan.  You can’t really see the waves well with my camera phone……..but it’s another video snippet of life.

2006.9.30 Our First Video

In November of 2001 I had bought a video camera for my online Speech class.  In the video below  I just turned it on and was trying to figure out how to use it, when the kids decided to do their thing in front of the camera.  I made it into a little mini-movie.  Luke is 10 and Charlie is 7.

Wow!  I forgot just how time consuming college was.  It’s definitely hard to work, raise kids (thank goodness they’re old enough to fend for themselves) and attend college.  But online classes save me driving time and can be done at midnight, if necessary.  But I’m on a mission.  I’ve begun classes at Baker College and am pursuing my Bachelor of Web Development.

Oh my, how am I going to do it?  I’m going to have to move the submission of Wasp to February 14, 2007.  Even that’s an ambitious date.  I’ll set my timer and just commit to it.  I’ll do it tomorrow…..really, I will.

While I was driving down my driveway these strange birds were in my path.  I think they belong to my neighbor, Steve.  He has chickens, sheep, and the like.  They’re cool looking, though.

Welcome to My Blog!

This Blog is going to be used to chronicle my familie’s life and to report the progress of my writing.  I’ll post lots of pictures and videos as well as updates regarding my work in progress, submissions, and the inevitable rejections.  Feel free to look around and comment!
