Hello friends, family, world, I am now beginning what maybe the only diary I will ever keep. Yes my diary is personal and private so if you're reading this then shame on you! It is spring, a beautiful Sunday, April 27th, I just got home from my brother Mike's house. He's a dentist and spent most of this beautiful day at the office making dentures, while I sat on his couch, browsed online with his computer and chatted randomly with Courtney, his wife. Meanwhile my son,

Kobe played cautiously in the back yard. I think it would be misleading to say that he played heartily, or carelessly, for he is not that kind of a kid. Complete opposite of his thrill seeking father. Anyway he was having fun and that's all that counts. So while I was hanging out with Courtney she showed me her blog and I thought you know I need to do this. I left Kobe there and I am home now beginning what will, I hope, become a picture filled, exciting, and perhaps careless, blog that adequately entertains any who may unwelcomingly steal insight into this personal journal (Just Kidding) that I have now begun.
