Maybe a celebration is a little bit soon at this point but for the past two days and this morning all ready the boy, who if you remember is autistic, has been talking up a storm. He typically does things this way, fight them for the longest time before giving in and doing things right.…

I am not a person that asks a lot of questions. I try to figure them out by myself. Many, many, many moons ago there was a hit song called <a href="http://www.techren.net/mccall/works/blackbearroad/convoy.shtml">Convoy</a> by C.W. McCall. I was always confused by one line in this song but never asked the question.<br />n<br />n<i> Well, we shot…

As somebody who loves collecting gold and silver coins when the oppurtunity arises, <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/06/24/build/state/40-coins.inc">this</a> looks neat. Palladium coins. I don't have a coin like this so I will have to look into it. I keep drooling over the platinum coins too but have yet to get one of them. Some day I will though.<br…

My oldest daughter is leaving tommorrow for a trip. This was arranged by a teacher at school, but is not a school trip. It cost a pretty decent chunk of money but I felt it was well worth it for the oppurtunity she would have to see and experience the sights she might not get…

Well, nobody wanted to play on my <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/000357.html">Quiz</a>.

Sometimes I do something that makes me wonder if I have screws loose or not. I have taken on a little building project at my house. <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/quiz.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/quiz.jpg','popup','width=660,height=500,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">Here is a picture</a> of some of the building materials for the project. I was just wondering if anybody, not family, would like to guess…

My Darling Wife was not very happy this morning. She knew this was coming, but it sure enough doesn't make it any easier since she is not particularly a morning person. My oldest daughter had to be to school this morning by 5:30 to catch the bus to <a href="http://wulfgar.typepad.com/">Rob</a> and <a href="http://duck.hekhet.net/">Kim's</a> stomping grounds…
