It's been too long....

OH MY GOSH - fancy meeting you here.  How long has it been, friend?  Yes, I guess it has been about two months now.  Goodness!  Well, I've been here and there, and what feels like everywhere.  Since we chatted last, I believe things have gotten a little more exciting.  If you're interested - keep reading.  If not - see you in another two months.

Most Saturdays in Maryland this summer I would hang at my brother's place.  Not only did he have internet, cable and air conditioning, but he also has a pretty cool kid too!  Here is the last summer pic I could find.  I kinda love it. 

Okay - moving on.  I went to Naples, FL for work during most of the month of September.  I got to visit with some old friends and co-workers and got to meet a few new friends and co-workers.  I had been there almost three weeks and I discovered that I really hadn't done anything other than eat and sleep.  My mom would say that I was as productive as a baby.  (I think I heard her use that line a time or two, and now it's come back into my life again!  Funny how that works out.)  So, a co-worker and I decided to go on an airboat ride.  It was something I had never done, and it was definitely an experience I will never forget.

Yeah - it was cool until it started storming while we were out in the water on a metal boat.  Not cool - but really, really funny!!  The person I went with had on khaki shorts, and apparently had on four-leaf clover boxer shorts...needless to say, everyone could see the clovers once we were drenched with rain.  Mine was pretty embarrassing too!!

First on the list when I got back from Naples was to register and title my Jeep in Maryland.  IT'S OFFICIAL!!  I'm actually a Maryland resident..... WOW.

 

While I was in Naples, Mitch announced that he and his family would be moving back to Indiana.  This is what they've been looking forward to for awhile now, and I think it will be great for them and Emily.  It is certainly a great place to grow up.  Since I've been back, I've been trying to help them as much as possible on their way back to Indiana.  I dropped Deb off at the airport this morning and will drive Mitch's car back to Indiana this weekend.  Charlie is getting re-married this weekend, so it works out.  I'm sure I'll have some good pictures and videos from the weekend.

The company I work for was gracious enough to give me a couple of tickets to the first Baltimore Ravens home game - suite tickets to boot. 

 This is me tailgating in the rain.  Turns out - I'm not very good at drinking.

Pretty awesome seats!!

So - nothing really spectacular or interesting in my life, other than I feel like I will have a handle on things soon (this is a good thing).  I am almost to that goal that I've had for almost 10 years.  Stability.  Mitch and Charlie both have interesting lives at the moment - Mitch has moved back to Indiana with his wonderful family and Charlie is getting re-married.  Awesome.  Seems like things are on track.

I'll be blogging more often now and things will be more creative than informative, hopefully.  Like the good ole days.  Soon, very soon.

Until next time...............
