Ok,



I love to go camping!!! I also enjoy fishing!!! If I could combine the two, what a happy man I would be. This past Labor Day weekend we spent at the beautiful and under utilized Kankakee River State Park. My reason for this post is to just say that I am the most blessed man in the world. We were able to spend some time with two of three kids (who happen to live in the area). We aslo got to spend time with my in-laws on Saturday. They came down and spent the afternoon and evening with us eating chili cheese dogs on the grill, beer bratwurst and watermelon. We also played "bags" well into the night under the romantic glow of the "Malibu Lights".



The weather could not have been better, and to top things off.....my wife, son and I were able to go to church with my daughter and her husband. What a treat!



So..DO I like camping? Yes, but maybe it's all of the fringe benefits that go with it that makes it so enjoyable.



Just a thought.

I've decided to "BLOG"

When I was a kid, the word "blog" (if it was even a word back then) would've most likely been associated with feeling ill. I admit that I don't always get the 'lingo" correct in this electronic age. To tell someone that you are going to write on their wall was absurd in the sixties, that usually meant graffiti. Today , people look forward to getting something on their wall. go figure. Well how about bits and bytes of information. What is that all about? Or better yet, all of the acronyms. TCP/IP, SMTP, SMB, FTP, what???? It can be very confusing not to mention so exhausting.

I do however find this very ironic. I teach basic computer skills, isn't that funny? I write this not to bash the computer age but to just help us remember that maybe, just maybe, less is more.

Think about it.
