After almost two years, John P. left his job as Assistant Manager at Wolfgang Puck's Express on Lane Avenue. He's started as a server at the Olive Garden on Sawmill. There appears to be more opportunity for him there. Dad's going to be eating a lot of salad...

Since they could walk my kids have been skiing with Michael Dittiacur. I've known his dad and mother, Dennis and Martha, for about thirty years now. Our families have shared many adventures; trips skiing here in the U.S. and Europe, visits to Disney World and Sea World, excursions to Daytona Beqach.

It was with some excitement that I read the article in the Dayton Daily News announcing one of Mike's films is selected to screen at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. I knew he was good at his profession, but there is a world of difference between 'good' and this. You can see the short film "Held in Sway" for yourself at YouTube.

I replaced the dead webcam (Internet Camera) with two new ones; links are to the left. Heidi and I get to meet the old gang for lunch about every week. This is a photo Bill Miller took on February 8th in front of Tommy's Pizza. That's me in the chair with John Chapman, Fred Crowner, Heidi, Kal Dworkin and John Carney. Wish Bill were in the picture, too. What a group!
