Well I have been busy still. But wanted to drop a line to everyone and let them know I have found a new job. I start March 3rd. That is my official out date. I am on leave from the military until separate. I am anxious to see what the job will entail and what it will be like, seeing it is my first civilian job in 9 years. I will miss the Air Force, but I felt that it was time to move on - other things to look into and other adventures to have. I intend to continue pursuing my artwork, mainly as hobby. Although I would love to make a career out of it, it is hard to do so.

Linda and I are doing great. As they say, no news is good news.

Today marks the last day of being “in my twenties.” And I concede that 30 is not old, it is definitely the start of not being young. But what are you to do? Everyone ages. You just got to make the best of it I suppose.

Well hopefully I will post more. I am trying to get to everyone’s comments and such. As always thanks for the support!


Linda's book is now available at places like "Barnes and Noble" [link] and "Borders" , [link] so check it out. And if you cannot buy online, go to your local store and request through them. I am sure they can do that for you.


An artist had been working on a nude portrait for a long time. Every day, he was up early and worked late - bringing perfection with every stroke of his paint brush. As each day passed, he gained a better understanding of the female body and was able to really make his paintings shine.
After a month, the artist had become very weary from this non-stop effort and decided to take it easy for the day. Since his model had already shown up, he suggested they merely have a glass of wine and talk - since normally he preferred to do his painting in silence.
They talked for a few hours, getting to know each other better. Then as they were sipping their claret, the artist heard a car arriving outside. He jumped up and said, "Oh no! It's my wife! Quick, take off your clothes!"

Here are some friends I admire and have supported me for some time now and give me plenty of feedback on my work. I can count on them time and time again to point me in right direction. You should check them out. Also if you were not mentioned, let me know. To error is human. These are in no particular order.
