FYI

For my family and friends who do not know a lot about blogs here are some additional pointers.

1) You can see pictures of my kids when they were younger (and of me when I was in the Army and the years since) by clicking on the various years to the right of the text.

2) You can view the blog in reverse chronological order by clicking on "older posts" at the bottom of the multiple posts (text entries) on this page - and each subsequent page.

3) You can leave me a quick note by clicking on "comments" under each entry. Each entry is dated.

Thanks for visiting!
