Computers, Beer, and Politics

For Christmas, my sister Karen, gave me an extraordinary gift. She purchased a gift certificate which allowed me to go up in a Cessna airplane. The pilot must be an awfully trusting person because he let have control of the stick most of the way. Heck I even made a couple of turns and descended from 2100 feet to around 1100 feet. I felt like I was having to learn to drive all over again :-) Make sure to check out all the cool pics! Thanks Karen for the wonderful gift! It was a thrill of a lifetime! Rick

My daughter Lindsay took this picture with her camera phone. Thought the picture would be nice to put on to the blog. At some point I am actually going to have to start uploading things about computers, beer and politics :-)

Tristan was very fortunate to recently receive a brand new power chair through the DGF(Darrell Gwynn Foundation). Check out their website at http://www.darrellgwynnfoundation.org/. Also you can check out the write up about Tristan at http://www.darrellgwynnfoundation.org/News/DGF%20News%2003%2006%2007%20.htm Tristan is loving his new chair and getting the chance to spend the day with Darrell is one that he will never forget. He was espcecially excited to have caught himself on ESPN 2.

Just recently became the proud grandpa to a beautiful 7lb. 7oz. baby girl named Riley. Mom and Dad are happy that the new baby is finally here!
