Sorry for the absense. I really have no excuse. I should do this every morning. I will give you a tidbit of things I need to update. We had our annual halloween party. Every year we have a themed halloween masquerade party. Everyone must wear a costume. I will post some pictures, check back soon. This year the theme was superheroes. Allison and I were Superman and Super girl. Other updates: Our oldest daughter is in 7th grade and has made the 8th grade cheerleading line. Our middle child and I have started a robot club, we will be competing in the first lego league robot competition. Our youngest has switched from figure skating to gymnastics. I think she still prefers figure skating, but gymnastics is much more accessible so she gets more practice time. Allison is working on her third book. I have read the first chapter and it is great. Sorry, I can't release details. I am building antisipation. I am still woking on the flywheel at Honeywell for an Air Force program and coming to terms with my life. thanks for stopping by, my best, Joe DuBois p.s. my Buckeye football team beat Michigan (our rivals) today to maintain our lead in the conference. p.p.s Yeah, we won!!
