Treasure Chest

Anita & I Went South For The Winter - Well A Week Of It Anyway! We Visited Dad & Nancy In Coconut Grove, FL & Spent 6 Days @ The Fairfield Sea Gardens Beach & Tennis Resort In Pompano Beach, FL. We Also Visited Anita's Aunt Mary & Uncle Don In N. Ft. Myers, FL & Had Lots Of Time To Enjoy The Florida Sunshine - We'll Be Back!!

Anita's From The South & She Still Loves (To Shovel Snow) - I'm The Luckiest Guy On The Planet (In More Ways Than One)!! While I Was Stuck Inside I Painted The Living Room & Part Of The Dining Room - Check It All Out.

Spring Time 2004 @ The Barron's.

I Had A Business Trip To Oxnard, CA In April. By Coincidence, Kevin & Tina Were Vacationing w/ Their Crew In San Diego. Mom's Weekend In LA Was Cancelled So I Got To Stay w/ Her In Laguna Beach. My Friend Cheryl Was In LA On Business So We Had Dinner w/ Her New Beau Clint - Coincidence? I Don't Think So!

Anita & I Took A "Working" Vacation To The Fairfield Resort In Sevierville, TN. We Stayed In A Building That Had Only Been Open For A Month & Got Upgraded (For Free) The Day Before Leaving To A 3 Bedroom Deluxe. Check Out Our Spacious Trip!

Another Year & Another Killer Birthday. If You Haven't Been Paying Attention, Anita Buys Me A Gift For Every Year (42 This Year - But I'm Only 41). We Celebrated My Birthday w/ Mia & Her Family As Well - Beginning To Feel Like A Kid Again (Ain't It Great).

I Spent Two Weeks In Oxnard, CA Preparing For My Pilot Cut-Over - Notice The Proximity To Port Hueneme? Dad's First Duty Station Was Port Hueneme In 1963 - Guess It Was Sort Of A Homecoming. I'm Home For A Week & Then Back For Two More (Quick Summer). I Had Dinner w/ Brian & Liz Eno Upon Arriving - It Was Great To See Them! I Made It Down To Laguna Beach For A Day To Attend A Birthday Party For Mom's Friend Karen, Then Headed Back Up To Ventura To Dive The Channel Islands. We Actually Got Some Work Done As Well!!

Man Against The Machine (A 900 lb. Trenching Super Digger) - The Machine Won!! I Later Found Out That The Locking Mechanism On The Wheels Was Not Working - Foul! Anita Took A Business Trip To CA & I Decided To Get In A "Small" Project (Hah). The Plan Was To Trench For The Downspouts & The Sump Pump. I've Also Wanted To Place A Physical Barrier Around The Yard To Keep The Moles Out & I Promised Anita An Area For Some Climbing Foliage. Sounds Like A "Small" Project - What Was I Thinking?

We Spent The Week Of Thanksgiving 2004 In Las Vegas, NV @ The Fairfield Grand Desert Resort - We'll Be Back!!

We Had Two Christmas Celebrations Again This Year - One With Mia & Her Family & Another With Anita's Family In Albany, GA. My Latest Project @ P&G Is In Albany (How Convenient) So I Went Down Early And Worked A Few Days. Anita Got Caught In The Snow/Ice Storm In Cincinnati. Her Flight Was Cancelled Wednesday & Didn't Arrive In Atlanta Until 2:15 AM Friday Morning. I Drove To Atlanta To Pick Her Up & We Both Arrived In Albany On Friday Evening.
