Yes, it is officially an annual posting event!! In these "microwave" times, the Facebook page wins out as the primary info sharing avenue. A summary of the past year goes like this. Job, school board, and daycare continue as before. Some newborns are on the horizon for the upcoming year. Sender band is still chugging along, but the Phoenix band is suspended until a new guitar player is solidly in place. Phoenix did produce a CD in fall of 2012 and is now available for sale. We are making more friends in the lakes area which provides the opportunity to spend more time there when possible. House is still standing but awaits the installation of a new steel roof. I am also back on the theater board which so far has been more enjoyable than the last time around.  With brand new seats and new digital projection, we are as good as any theater around for only $4 a seat. Health problems seem to avoid us, even at our "advanced" ages despite our terrible nutrition and exercise habits. Davis left the country for Ramstein AFB in Germany for three years but weekly calls or skype chats help close the distance. We do have passports in hand now in preparation of visiting Europe next summer. We hope to have him back here for the holidays. Dan has stayed with Brand FX, the utility truck body makers, and has made himself one of the more experienced employees there. We still enjoy attending dirt track racing in the area together.  More later as I remember to check back here ;p
