(h/t to Texas Fred) The Army has notified the family of Matt Maupin of Ohio that they have ID’d his remains. The thoughts and prayers of a grateful nation are with the Maupin family during their time of loss.

My first BlogTalkRadio show was Friday morning – talk about a learning curve! Many, many thanks to the Loon for her immeasurable support and help.

A package arrived from Hammacher/Shlemmer on Friday morning. It is a slide-and-negative-to-digital scanner, which will allow me to first transfer all of my grandfather’s slides to digital for safekeeping (without paying an outrageous amount of money for someone to do it for me) and second to start offering the same service to others, without charging an outrageous amount of money to do it.

Here in the “office” where the computer is, I have built storage shelves for my model railroading collection and my wife’s craft supplies. The cats have discovered that if they climb up, in, and around the various boxes and stored items that we can’t get to them to remove them from the room when we leave. That allows us to instead find the little gifts they leave behind. Ah, the joys of sharing a house with cats.

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
