This is Laura's last day at DSS for the state
of MD. But because it's a holiday for Maryland state employees,
yesterday was her last working day. She is sad to leave many
friends, but much relieved too. |
| Oct 25 |
Mark ran in a 10k (6.2 mile) NASA run (56'40").
It was great fun. He did a decent job pacing for the heart/muscles,
but his knee joints became sore. That was a minor price to pay. |
| Oct 19 |
Mark ran in a 2 mile NASA fun-run (15'23").
No ill affects. He paced himself much better than he did last
year (15'50"). |
| Oct 24 |
Laura resigned from the Department of Social
Services for Maryland State. She is looking at other opportunities
and will likely do volunteer work. We're both looking forward
to her having a little more time. |
| Oct 23 |
The last touches of the proposal were turned in.
That's a big relief to Mark. |
| October 16 |
Mark turned in the business plan part of the WEVAC
proposal. That was good to finish. Now the rest of it needs
to be put together. |

We had Ray-Shawn and Rae-Kyea with us.
We went to the park and did some bicycling, unicycling, and skating.
|
| September 6-9 |
We went with Marty and Katina to their parents
beach Condo in Ocean City, MD (Delmarva area). It was
great. We had a very relaxing time. Great donuts at The
Fractured Prune. :-) |
| September 29 |
Mark has a rough draft of a proposal due. Not
much spare time at this point. ..as if GMAT wasn't enough. :-)
|
| September 9 |
Edified, the trio of which Laura is a
member, sang at Burnt Mills SDA church. |
| September 1 |
Laura and Mark left for a vacation to Tennessee to
see the Lynn parents' new house. We returned on September 8.
That was a nice trip, but a lot of work. We helped move and
look through a lot of things from the grandparents house. |
| August 29, 30 |
Mark was able to go to Kennedy Space Center in Cape
Canaveral for a wearable computer demonstration. It was a very
interesting visit. |

Mark started a Kaplan GMAT course. |

We threw a surprise Veggie Tales party for Laura.
It was great, and she was shocked!

We were privileged to have Jose live with us
for a month. He's back in Spain now, and we miss him. See
a few pictures. |
| July |
Bought an Epson 1270 color printer. The results
are fantastic. |

Bought an Epson 850z digital camera. 8x10's from
this look great. |
| June 19 |
 This
was Mark's Toyota pickup until Monday, June 19 when it was sold
so we could save for another vehicle. This is one neat little
4 wheel drive. Having the 4WD pickup during the snow storm
in January was GREAT fun. I drove around helping a lot of
people with it.
|
| April 17 |
Put my Toyota Pickup for sale on main page. I'll
miss it when it's gone. ..especially when hauling, or in slippery
conditions. |
| April 15 |
Laura's Birthday!
Happy Birthday my lady! |

it a lot. |
