If you have Messenger, this may be for you. You can now help raise money for charity.

It is called "I'm", which is short for "I'm Making a Difference"

From the live.com website.
"Every time you start a conversation using i’m, Microsoft shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective organizations dedicated to social causes"

You simply have to add a special code to your display name in Messenger. That simple.

I am supporting the American Red Cross, but there are other options.

My first day at my new job started with something rather interesting... I could really feel the love... 

I was escorted to my new home away from home and well... here are some pictures...

Some items worth special observation:

• Duct Tape & Sharpie name plate
• Metal chair with no cushion
• PC that is ducktaped together
• OLD... did I say Old CRT monitor proped up with some cardboard and old CD Drive
• Missing keys on keyboard
• Mouse that the wire was spliced and taped back together
• Paper cup to hold pens
• PINK paper clips
• Last but not least... Windows 3.1 Background

Thank you for making my first day special!!!

Well, it's official. My last day with Taylor Data Systems was Friday, November 17. It was a very emotional day for me. After working there for 9 years, I felt like I was definitely closing a very important chapter of my life. My boss was very gracious to have a luncheon in my honor, and invite my wife and kids. While I believe that God has called me elsewhere, there will always be a big piece of my heart at TDS. 

Thanks to Dave Taylor and to all my fellow coworkers for sharing the experience with me.

It's on to ACS Technologies from here!

I am very excited about this new leaf that has turned over in my life. God opened the door, and in faith, I am walking through it. I know it is going to be a great step for me and I can't wait to get started.

For winning the 2006 AAAA State Championship!!! GO BRUINS!!!

Championship game scores from WPDE here in Florence. (about the extent of what I could find online)

Fuss session: I am very upset with the local media here in Florence.
This should be something we should be proud of; yet it is only mentioned in passing.

Well... I am proud of you Lady Bruins!!!

Jacob hit his first Home Run of his life this morning in his T-Ball game. The ball rolled almost to the fence. That boy was running... I was behind home plate and as he was running from third base to home... he was smilling from ear to ear... I love watching him play... His smiling makes me smile the entire game. He was also in a wedding today so I included a picture of the handsome fella...

For those who don't know, my son Jacob has started his first season in organized sports. His team is the Dodgers. He is very excited and enjoys it very much.

Here are all his games. All games are 5:30 except the 10:15 game on 3/25. They are all held at Greenwood here in Florence.
