Today is a sad day


Friends and family,
Today we mourn the loss of an old friend. After 46 years,8 months, and 19 days the much heralded youth of Scott has come to an end. Last evening out in front of the house I had that moment of realization that yes, I am old. To solve the issue of who would attend "The Lion King" Broadway show early next month with Kelly, I suggested we should have a "foot race". So Devan and I took to the line. Now as many of you know, I possessed considerable prowess in this area, so it has always been my "ace in the hole" so to speak. Now I really didn't think I would win, but figured it would be fun and we could laugh about it afterwards. I really didn't plan on having a complete blow out either!! Now my injury is not that bad but I am sure it will take a while to heal and then no more "foot races" Well...


At least not until I get healed up!!!!

New Year




Wow what a tremendous holiday season we had here in the desert.
My posting has been lacking to say the least, but we do hope everyone had a great holiday season as well, and are looking forward to a healthy and happy 2009.
Santa was very good to the kids as usual, bringing much cheer and happiness. It was a quiet holiday, kinda different, as Kelly's family usually come to visit but this year they are all saving their trip for Devan's graduation. We did have one very cool thing though, for the first time since we were very young kids, and the first time ever for Kelly and the kids. Auntie Kim spent the holidays with us. I know she had a great time as did we all, very nice to have her back!!!
Some more recent college updates, Devan has been offered a scholarship to Hofstra University in New York, $66,000 WOW!!! this is still only about half the cost to attend for four years, but it is a major feather in her cap!! She is still leaning to staying in state, at least for the first 2 years, the saga continues...
Cody started lacrosse, what a COOL game!!! They had their first pre-season tournament last Saturday and were victorious in all 4 games they played. Cody did real well and is picking up the game very quickly. And the most important news is that Brynn is having her first dance class today!!! I got a text from Kel just a couple minutes ago and she said it was the cutest thing ever!!!!
Of course throughout the holiday season I did not get the camera out very much, so the pics are limited. I will try to do better I promise!!!
