Geocaching

I am about to make a pocket query. A friend and I amre going to go geocaching this weekend. This sounds like a high technology level game. But it is really not that hard. We just use the militaries billion dollar satilites to go searching the woods for small plastic containers.
Hey, it gets you off the couch and outside for a few hours. It has you using your mind and you might consider it excercise. You would be amaze at what a person might try to do just to find a cache.

Work

I am now back to work. When I am here, it is like I am in another world. It is not until I get home that I think about my brother. I think of my brother even more when I am with my parents and sister-in-law. My nephew is just like my brother in some of his mannerisms. I guess tha is a good thing. This first year of many first without my brother is going to be difficult.

May 2007

The month of May was one I was really looking forward to. I went on a wonderful cruise. A Christian cruise. I went to 16 christian concerts in one week. I was on such a spiritual high. Then on May 11th my brother Mark was killed in a car accident. He was just nine days shy of his 41st birthday. It is not so much that I am sad about his death. Because I know he is in heaven celebrating Jesus. But I am sad that all the things we had to look forward to I will have to face without him. He did not want to have a party for our parents 40th anniversary. He wanted to wait until their 50th. And now he is not here. His son is only eleven. He has not been on his first date. Or graduated from high school. Gone off to college. Or any of the usual teenager things.
