About Me

My photo
Born in Memphis, TN many moons ago. Educated at East High School and Christian Brothers University in the mysteries of Electrical Engineering. Married for 36 years this year to the same lovely lady with three beautiful children. Lived in LA, WV, IN, IL and essentially all-over TX (well, at least on business trips). Love my family deeply, feel very blessed by God (more than I deserve) and appreciative of all the friends I have made in this life! My first car was a Chevy II Nova (in upper right of my picture) - one of the first Nova's of this type made. It had a straight 230 cu in six and Torque Drive. Torque Drive meant it had no clutch but you still had to shift it from first to second when starting out (second to third was automatic). Very unique car. I loved it! Now I have a Mustang GT (going on 19 yrs old) given to me by my wonderful wife and it is still a blast. I now have a new daughter - the beautiful lady my son married! So thankful for all my family!

A Nice Vacation

Well, we just got back from a very nice vacation that was in accompaniment with returning Leah to school. We had the time this time to do some things we've not done in the past like visit Walt Disney World (Joy's first visit!) and also go to the beach (Caladesi Island) where we found some really cool shells and saw dolphins in the wild. It was also wonderful, however briefly, to see my family and spend a few hours with them again - thank you once more for putting us up on the "passes" through your area. Oh yea, we also got Leah moved into school for another year - whew!

I actually had some time to unwind this time and promised myself that once I had turned in the document my employer was expecting, I would not check my work email until I returned - and that's exactly what I did.

The girls enjoyed the pool at the vacation home again and it was in tip-top shape as usual. I got to relax with guitar a bit and the owners had added a new large-screen TV for us to enjoy too. Joy and I tried fishing one morning in the canal behind the home but no luck but that's why it's "fishing" and not "catching".

All in all, it was a great vacation and I posted some pics up on Flickr if you are a member of my Flickr friends or have a guest pass from me. I hope you enjoy them.

Now it looks as though Fall may be coming early. I guess we'll see. It wouldn't bother me as much as I love cool weather but it is a bit odd. It's been a rather cool summer really.

Hope you have had a little time to vacation or enjoy recreation too.

Kind regards,

Jerry

Our Weather Today:

It's been a very wet Spring so far this 2015. However, we have had periods of beautiful skies in between. Currently that trend continues. Oddly enough it's been quite cool compared to the norm so perhaps that means a summer that is not a scorcher. Really, I'm ok with that...
