The picture looked better when I took it, but it’s blurry now.  Of course it was night and I was driving at the time.

It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that it read ’151515′.  After seeing more suspicious fluids on my driveway, I wonder if it will see 171717.

Very sunny out, and I couldn’t really see the composition of this photo at the time.  It would have been nice to include the polar bear’s head in the picture.

12 May 2008 Mother’s Day, 2008

Becky really surprised me this year with what she wanted to do on Mother’s Day.  She chose the Volo Auto Museum.  Becky’s never been a ‘car person’, but maybe after 16 1/2 years, I’m wearing her down (probably in more than one way).

After church we met Cathy and Dan at our house and drove together to Volo.  We spent a cold, rainy afternoon looking at some very cool cars.  They had a Rolls Royce limo that Princess Diana once used there.  I think that may be why Becky was interested in going.

We saw some very cool cars.  Dan was fascinated with the old Mustangs.  They reminded him of the 1967 ‘Stang he used to own.  I saw a beautiful 1957 Chevy Impala there that I would have loved to drive.  For a mere $50,000, I could have had that pleasure.

It was a fun day.

I have a feeling that we’ll be at the Botanical Gardens for Fathers Day…

01 Feb 2006 Linton’s First Flight
 |  Category: Flying, Photos  | Leave a Comment

Our friends Linton and Eileen from Cork, Ireland were in town visiting, and my buddy Michael was gracious enough to take Linton for his first general aviation (i.e. “small plane”) flight. I was lucky enough to tag along.

The weather was pretty crummy, but we got just enough visability to tool around for a bit. Linton was able to try his hand at the controls. Michael is a great host, being very mindful of his ‘first-timers’ and very educational too.

Here’s a couple pictures of the flight:


Thanks for the ride, Michael!

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Schaumburg where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights.

There is, however, a catch: As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.

So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 – These men have jobs.

The woman reads the sign and says to herself, “Well, that’s better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what’s further up?” So up she goes.

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 – These men have jobs and love, kids.

The woman remarks to herself, “That’s great, but I wonder what’s further up?” And up she goes again.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 – These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.

“Hmmm, better” she says. “But I wonder what’s upstairs?”

The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 – These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework.

“Wow!” exclaims the woman, “very tempting, BUT, there must be more further up!” And again she heads up another flight.

The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak.

“Oh, mercy me!? But just think…? what must be awaiting me further on?” So up to the sixth floor she goes.

The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 – You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.



Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day.
