Our updates for all of you

Well I'll start with a couple of pictures. Above is the amount of snow that was still around when Sean and brandy got here. They couldn't believe it. Still winter then! Although a bit hard to see, Sean is standing in the driveway just taking in a heavy snow shower. That's the way it was that week. It's a slower day today. It shouldn't be, but I'm sick today. Yesterday morning woke up with a sore throat. Last night got the headache and congestion going. This morning a REALLY sore throat and that all over feeling of jerkiness and over all lousy feelings. Probably a fever in it all but I can't find the thermometer. So a little computer time then a TV or movie day. I've got hours of recorded programs on the DVR's to watch and haven't had the time. So I guess today's a good day for some catching up. I always think, maybe one day of relaxation then I can get back to it. It is after all spring and EVERYTHING is growing like crazy. I'm to mow a...

Oh well, after a full day at the local gambling hall in an attempt to be the winner of the Pontiac Solstice, Stacy wasn't picked. Too bad, but since I'd mentioned her there on the last post I thought I'd let everybody know if we were zipping around in a new car or not. So, or not is the answer. All the Goodwin's out there that might be looking at this that are also of the somewhat 'geeky' variety, like me by the way, might check out, if you don't already know about him, the website This Week In Technology (TWIT.tv) by Leo Laporte. I know he's nationally syndicated on many local radio stations, I listen to his shows on Saturdays and Sundays on XM channel 158. But he's got a lot of interesting topics about all kinds of tech not just computers. On the TWIT site there are links to podcasts about all kinds of topics, gadgets, security, windows and macs just to name a few. Makes good listening if you're busy doing other things. I'm taking the plung...

REALLY busy! Start off first with me currently working two jobs. The one paying and the other not.......,well not yet anyway. At the department where Stacy works the person recently hired didn't work out and left so I stepped up and said I'd volunteer. Gives me a chance to see if I'd like to do that job and gives them a chance to see if they'd like me to do the job permanently. So between those hours and the busier busing end of the year rush, I haven't had the opportunity to get working on keeping everyone caught up on our 'happenings'. Sean and Brandy were here their week, from the 19th to the 26th of April. The weather co-operated to give them a taste of what winter is like around here. When they left San Diego it was in the 70's. On arrival at Spokane it was in the low 30's and snow showers. They got to see a lot of snow showers and a few inches of build up for most of the week they were here. Neither Sean nor Brandy had ever seen, in person...
