Feature in uweek!

Hi all - with the popularity of curling and the Olympic games, many in the media are writing stories on curling. This week I was featured in uweek, the University's newspaper. See the story at the following URL:

UW resident curls, just for fun -- not for Olympic glory

Enjoy!

Cars, naval ships, and family visits

My dad came to visit in Jan. One really neat thing we did is visit the Lemay Car Collection. This guy collected thousands of cars throughout the years, and they are housed on an 88 acre former Catholic military high school campus. The pink 1946 Kaiser convertible in the picture is in the boys shower room just off the pool (which has been filled and now has cars on the floor built over it). We also went to Bremerton, via the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. We lunched in Gig Harbor on the way. Anyway, Bremerton is a naval town, thus the pics of the ships. We also saw a theater now church with homage to Rick Warren. Not to mention the next day, while shopping in Sammamish, we saw the opposite end of the spectrum - a tribute to soil. It was a great time together, although not quite as sunny as last year. PS I also included the picture of the Tucker - notice the center, moving, third headlight! The yellow car is a great Buick convertible. The pickup is a 1952 Chevy - just trying to get an idea of original brake lights for my truck. The red shoe car is a novelty - two seater.

Christmas Tree

Well, here are some pics of our tree. We bought a fake. Good thing, as it is still up! Marc did a fabulous job of decorating - much of it is mini-silverware and cups and saucers. It was a hit at our holiday parties. I think that at this point we might leave it up until March 19th. Oh, and Mary bought us a Ken doll ornament. Bailey posed in the background.

Dachshund Ying-Yang

Well, the dogs just curled up to sleep like this last night - assumed a ying-yang without any coaching. So I thought that I'd snap a picture! It's kind of true - these dogs are opposite in personality, yet have lived together > 10 years and are close. Enjoy! Mike
