A new day....

Well, today is saturday, the first day of summer. I love summer. Wish it would warm up more though. Looks like rain here today. I actually stayed up last night and watched the pirates win a game. They beat the Blue Jays 1-0 in 12 innings. Was a good game to watch. Hopefully they can do just as good tonight.

Today is My step-son Randy's birthday. He is 31 today. He has been in the Air Force for 13 years now. Looks like he will make it a career. He is a medic. He is home on leave right now with hs daughter Evelyn. She is so cute.

This is a picture of her with me at the top of this blog. She just turned 4 years old last month.

Today, my son Joey told me he has joined the National Guard. He will be a senior at high school next year, so, he won't actually join until he graduates. Then it will be off to basic training. At least he will get to continue his education. College will be good for him. I am really proud of him.

Not much else knew today. Had an easy day delivering the mail. Light summer mail they call it. I guess the winter mail is heavy winter mail! Oh well, enjoy it while I can! Talk to you all later.

More from me....

Did you ever have one of those days where nothing seemed to go right? Well, I had one today with the cable company. Good old Time-Warner cable. Last night, I was watching a show we had on DVR, and it froze up on us. I tried rebooting the cable box and it would not come back on. Called the cable company and they said nothing they could do to fix it. Scheduled a technician to come out to my house next wednesday. Wow! I have to wait that long? Tried swapping out cable boxes this morning, with the cable company in hermitage. Didn't work. Then, the internet and the phones quit working today too. Of course, I have everything through the cable company. Bundling they call it. Spent 30 minutes on the phone after work, and they finally got the phone and the internet to work again. Couldn't get my High Def TV to work though. I am just about ready to go to the dish. I moved my cable box from my TV upstairs to the big screen TV downstairs, and it worked! Just no high def. Oh well, at least I can watch the pirates tonight! Oh wait, they will probably lose anyhow. Probably should just read a book, instead. I would go swimming, but, the water is too cold in the pool. Anyhow, that was my day. How was yours??

My family

OK, some people want to hear more about my family, so here goes. I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters. 2 older brothers, and everyone else is younger than me. Can't say that I have a favorite sister (sorry Paula!) cause they are all special! Most of my family is scattered around the USA. I have a brother in Erie, another one in Greenville, one in New Jersey, and one up by Jamestown, PA. My sisters live in Meadowlands, Pa, Largo, Florida and Kennard (which is a suburb of Greenville.

My parents live in Jamestown, Pa. My dad (Paul) is 77, and my mother (Mary Alice) will turn 75 this year. They are the greatest parents in the world!

I have one daughter (Tiffany) who is 27 and lives in Greenville. I also have 2 sons, who both live in Sharon, Pa with their mother. Brian is 24 and Joey is 17. My wife has a son, Randy who will turn 31 this sunday, and a daughter, Mindie who is 28. I also have 2 grandkids. Nathan is 5, and Evelyn is 4. They are great kids! We also just had an addition to our family. Teddy Bear joined our family yesterday. He is a 1 1/2 year old pekingese puppy. I will add pictures of all of them as soon as I can figure out how to do it!

My sister, Paula, and Mindie are both right. I am a sports FANATIC! I will never miss a steelers game, as my father and my brothers can tell you. I try and watch as many pirates games as I can, but, lately, they have been terrible to watch.
The penguins had a great season, and I watched a lot of their games in the playoffs this year. Maybe next year they can take the cup home, where it belongs, in Pittsburgh.

My wife and I went to Key West, Florida last month for a much needed vacation. We had a great time, but, it was much too hot. 95 everyday. That's too hot! We rented scooters while we were there, and really enjoyed them. I bought one before we left for florida, and I love riding it around here. I drive it to work, and run to wal-mart, and anywhere else I feel like riding to! It is a blast, and it gets 120 miles per gallon. Can't beat that!

Okay, enough for now. I will write more as I come up with ideas. Anything you want to hear about, let me know!
