Aug 2012

Im retired, so i pretty much do what i want. my wife is in florida this week with her sister vacationing, i stayed home and im "babysitting" our german sheperd. our son is getting married in march to a beautiful, wonderful girl from hong kong. so we are going over there for the wedding and then going to spend a week in thailand.

It has been a long, dry, hot summer here in kentucky, but im not complaining, as i HATE winter.
