Certainly has been a long time since I last posted. Nothing much has changed in my life the last few months. This summer my family, consisting of two teenage girls and two pre-teenage boys, and my wife, took a trip through Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.


The highlights of the trip from my point of view were seeing my step-brother for the first time in ten years and staying in Ouray Colorado for three days. I will write more later on our adventures, but once again I came home yearning to live in the mountains.

Our church had to let our priest go because of finances. I have filled in and led the services on a couple of occasions and the other times we have hired visiting priests. I have considered going to a seminary but my wife has threatened divorce if I do.

Work sucks, my managers are evil buggers who lost their souls years ago. Amazing how they can treat people like dirt and then brag about it. Out of 1300 people we have had 77 quit this year alone. That is a high turnover but AEP does not care as long as the plant produces power.
