I
have am apology to make to the followers and the readers of these
blogs, and then an announcement to make.
A
very important announcement. At least it is to me, anyway.
First,
I would like to apologize for the very erratic blog postings over the
last couple of weeks or so. The telephone company has sold out to
another company (a telephone co-op we've been told), and the DSL
internet had become very spotty. Sometimes not working at all,
especially if there was a thunderstorm. So, my landlady has switched
the internet service to the cable company, and they still don’t
have it quite right yet. I am getting my internet service (with her
permission) via her wireless router.
I
can’t complain since it is free to me, but still it’s annoying
that it is still intermittent.
Now
for the announcement, and the primary reason I have not posted as
regularly.
The
reason was, and is, a brand new baby girl born on June 19. Her name
is Skylar Riley, and she is brand new first child to my “daughter”
Jackie and her husband Todd Ray.
Jackie
is the beautiful young woman whom I worked with at my previous job.
She has never had a father in her life, and for some reason that I
can’t explain, she became very attached to me, and decided that it
is her duty to take care of me.
When
Jackie found out that she was pregnant, she said “Steve, you are
going to have to help me raise this kid, or I will have to hurt you”.
So
what else could I do?
I am
now a grandpa by proxy (she didn't have to exactly twist my arm),
and I am very happy about it.
So
there you have it. An apology and an announcement.
I
love the announcement best.
