top of the afternoon, friends!
i hope this blog entry finds you all well!
just an update on what's going on in my world.....
the first above picture is of me, trish, some unknown crazy guy, terri, and jen in put-in-bay. we have no idea who this guy is, but he wanted his picture taken with us. we rode about 300 miles last sunday to the island. jen just had to try out her brand new harley road king! we visited all the sites as well as the winery. i'll just say this....what happens in put-in-bay....stays in put-in-bay! lol
the second picture is my first experience in eating crawfish while traveling through louisiana. while they were okay, i'm not in a rush to eat them again. they are a lot of work to eat!!! the locals call them "mud bugs!" sounds appetizing, doesn't it???
the third is a better picture of my the new bike i picked up last month in san antonio, texas. although it's much newer and had a lot less miles, it's certainly not as comfortable as the road king i currently ride. dad, however, loves it and has already put it in a bike show. he won second prize! i've ordered a chrome pig for the front fender for him for father's day.
things are going good here, although it's been a costly month! i had to replace my central air unit, as it died during the hottest week of the year so far. then, my bathroom sink started leaking, so i had to replace it. unfortunately, it's a double sink, and i couldn't match it, so i had to replace both! then, as i was traveling to my chiropractor yesterday, a truck threw up a rock and broke my windshield! it's being replaced today. it's always something! (lol) although it sounds bad, i don't have to look far to find others with MUCH worse problems! praise God that everyone in my family is healthy and well!
the business (Stars Consulting, LLC - http://www.starsconsultingllc.com/) is continuing to do well. we do a tremendous amount of advertising on the internet. we hope that will eventually pay off.
several of my former grad student friends and i met for dinner recently. di, viv, marla, tonya and i met at the rice bowl and caught up. i also had coffee with another former classmate, mark. although he and i have GREATLY differing political views, it's always fun to taunt one another with our opinions....lol
i've been asked to speak at girl's state again this year. i'm so honored that they've asked me to come up again. that was definitely one of my favorite programs to work as a state trooper. i plan to speak on the importance of being prepared for anything, attitude, and the problem of impaired drivers on our highways.
congratulations to the following people on their upcoming or recent retirements. i wish them the very best in their retirement and in future endeavors!

quote for the day
