Honestly, my house is usually a bit messy. Not like crazy messy...but not always organzied either. Today, some friend were supposed to come over to do a 50's photo shoot in my kitchen, but suddenly one of their boys got sick. Poor little guy! So I thought, why waste a clean kitchen?I've always wanted to post pictures around my house, so what the heck!  My kitchen is actually still "in progress." There's no ceiling right now, and the tiles are coming up and breaking (that's not in the picture).  So hopefully within the year, we'll get that fixed up!  I can't wait!

Two weeks ago, the College Board of Trustees approved a purchase of a 6.15 acre property that is adjacent to the College. The property has long been identified in our Master Planning Process as a key acquisition for the College. Careful planning and smart business practices make such a purchase a reality. There are lots [...]

This blog is a good place to time stamp my bumps and bruises.  Why?  Well, my company has changed health care providers over the past ten years due to mergers, acquisitions, etc.  This is a good place to make note of my injuries so I can refer back to this blog to look at recovery times, etc.  So, here is a list of my current injuries, when they approximately happened, and how:

1. Left Shoulder - February 2011 - I believe I injured it after trying to remove snow from my deck.  The railings on my deck are about 30 inches high, so it is an overuse injury.

2. Left Elbow Tendinitis - Late Spring/Early Summer 2011 - Injured trying to squeeze caulk from a caulking gun.

3. Left Bicep - Early November 2011 - Injured moving an old 21 inch CRT monitor into a work vehicle.  The monitor "moved" on me and in an attempt to stop it from moving, I braced it with my left arm.

I could use some bionic parts now.

A little painting I did for my sister-in-law. . . just cause. 11x14acrylic on canvas

The Franklin Glass Beneficial association's new recreational center at the city limits on Ziegler Ave. extension road, have provided cooling touches to the brows of many a feverish youngster. Above is shown the swimming pool which has been rebuilt this year. The water is 10 feet deep at its greatest depth. A new chlorinenator keeps the water pure at all times. The above picture was snapped on a recent hot afternoon.

The start of another semester. Are you ready? Do you have butterflies? I can remember being excited, but a bit anxious at the start of each semester. What would my professors be like? How about my workload? Will I meet any new friends? An advantage you have as a student at BC3 is our low [...]
