Our wall is done! i can’t believe it is completed! yeah! i will move all the wall posts to the wall page at some point :-)

One of our other cats, squeakers…beeps for short, has been acting different since Sylvester passed away. He sits in some of the places where Sylvester used to sit and looks slightly worried. Squeakers and Sylvester were buddies, picking on each other and running around the house together. I think squeakers knows whats going on but is in denial…I will really miss besser…so will squeakers.

Rest in Peace Besser-Pooh…we lost one of our poohs today. Sylvester was a cat that Andrea raised from about a day or two old until today. She has been upset lately because he has been sick. He is resting nicely now up in kitty heaven

Well we got our shots for Uganda on Tuesday…OMFG (please note that this is the PG-13 version of this phrase and is read as “oh my fricken gosh”) wow, talk about sore and strange. Everyone except for Jmix had seven shots, Jmix got lucky and only needed four.

Andrea and I experienced an accelerated flu-like illness yesterday. We were not contagious or vomiting. We did however, roll through all the other symptoms in about a four-hour span…it was strange. Hot and flushed…cold and shivers…oh, here come the flushed feeling again…brrr is the air-conditioner stuck on 4!

welcome to my blog. a few things to keep in mind for my blog. i do web development for a living so blogging is a low priority, and my posts will most likely be short and to the point. i have several hobbies that are expensive (according to my wife :-) i like photography, rc cars, model railroad, and i enjoy tweaking my GTI.

well, thats all for now, my family’s blogs will have more frequent posts, with more information. those of you with Christmas cards from us have the links to our other blogs, those who did not receive a card, simply ask.
