Our Animal Family

In this picture you can see our "pet" family. From left to right clockwise we have: Vago (short for Dr. Zhivago), Helen, Karl, and Sassy (short for Saskia Bronwen - did I spell that right?).

We love our pets! They are really our family (no human children yet). It is amazing that they all get along so well. Sometimes they fight, as we can see - Helen and Vago are having a bit of a "tumble" on the bed.

Martha and I

Yesterday my wife and I went to see Martha Stewart in person! Yes, the REAL Martha Stewart!

Martha was in town (Jamestown - that is) to "show off" her new line of signature furniture during the "biannual" furniture market show.

My wife and I are still not sure how we were invited. Were thinking it was because my wife belongs to her magazine club. Well, anyway - I got to speak to her (I said "hello" and "thank you" after she signed my magazine).

Contrary to popular belief, she was very nice, even after I asked her for advise on some stock tips a buddy of mine gave me....

Fishing Tips from the Master

Last Friday I went fishing at Belew's Creek with a teaching colleague of mine. His name is Dale, and when it came to fishing that day, he was the Master and I was the Apprentice.
