Barbecue with old friends

We finally had our reunion get together at Carlos house. it has been about 10 years since we all got together. Liz is married and has a son Alec 8 years old. Interesting the letters look familiar it is the acronym for A Local Exchange Carrier. Thats what happens when telecom gets into your blood. Carlos has twin boys age 7. I would list all the names but I am having a senior moment. Robert has a girl 7 and a boy 5. I am still having a senior moment. Lots of fun, food and frolicking in the pool. Then more food and liquids. It was a long day for me since it was hot out. We are planning another get together in the August time frame for an excursion to Catalina. Stay tune for information on the next party.

PS Robert can never pat me on the stomach again and talk about being in shape check out the picture of Robert when he got out of the pool with Carlos. His wife must be feeding him good or he has become a daddy couch potato.

News for April in California and Montana

Well, since I am being told I need to update what is going on with the family here goes. Yesterday Tira and Kathie drove Mitchel to Missoula to have his tonsils removed. They are driving back this morning. I have been working 10 to 12 hours a day on my new job and I think I am tired. I say that because I am to tired to think when I get home. Sunday it hit 100 degrees, it is only spring time. Koko said to say hello to everyone and tell them to send ice to lay on. Koko loves the cold not the heat. I have been running the air conditioning everyday since I arrived in California. I now have an 8O GB Video IPOD and some day I will figure out how to turn it on. It is boring being alone even though I have Koko with me. That is what will probably determine how long I actually work. I can not keep up the pace of working this many hours and then taking care of the dog, myself , the house and cooking. By the time i eat dinner I go to bed and in the morning I barley have enough time to make my lunch before i am out the door. with the commute time my work days are averaging 14-15 hours

Kathie is flying to California on the 19th for a week to spend time with her brother and his wife and to visit her dad because he just turned 80. Belated birthday visit. I really miss my times drinking coffee with Ralph and my friends in Whitehall.

That is all I can think of for now. Papa is signing off

I won an Video IPOD Classic 80GB

Went to a vendor seminar today and i won an IPOD Classic 8OGB. If only I could figure out how to turn it on. Where is Chrissy and Kasi when I need them
