Hello from Hendersonville.
Since this is my first post I’ll keep it short and save my rants for later.
Kudos to Matt for a great idea. It’s nice to know what everyone is up to.
BTW: Matt – we are coming up to Jeffersonville, Indiana the first weekend in August. On the map, it’s the just across the river from Kentucky. Is this anywhere near you?
As for us, Elizabeth, Zachary, and I, we are doing great. I can’t complain much about the work at home Dad thing although, sometimes I feel like a fish out of water. I had to let go most of my clients in favor of giving Zachary a full time parent until he is of school age. This also gives me the time to work on my 3D animation skills which will secure a position for me when Zachary starts kindergarten.
Our family web site is still http://www.ishawn.com/ and I’ll add the link to the links section as soon as get a minute.
James: I’m with you, that orange is piercing my brain ( or is that Brian : ) Normally, Florida Orange is fine but, I can't see the blog so well when I’m squinting.
Pepto: "...........parallel universe?" <-- I was thinking Bazzarro World. Glad your comming back.
Take care everyone.

escaping from hell
Well it is official. I am escaping from hell. I am moving to jackson, TN and leaving this shithole call south bend goodbye. Yes I know Jackson is a shithole too but it is a TN shithole compared to a IN shithole. It's kind of like comparing having bannanas or pineapples shoved up your ass. I prefer bannanas on most days of the week. Danelle and I have found a house in Jackson and will start our move there sometime in late August. we will not be able to move into the house until Sept 1. To see the house, go to realtor.com and search for 151 bent oaks, Jackson, TN. We got a really good price on the house because of all the registered sex offenders in the nieghborhood. Just kidding. Our child custody case has started and we have lost the first round. My wife's X, Bob, was able to get an injunction in place keeping us from taking Isaac out of state until the case could go to court. Now he has the luxury of slowing the process down until we cry mercy. This is going to get expensive. I survived cancer, I can survive Bob.
FYI - My wife and I had dinner with Randy Moffit and his wife last week. We had a hell of a time. We stayed up til the wee hours remembering the good old days. His house in Jackson is about 5 minutes from my new house. Me and Randy together.......in the same town........without either of us drinking..........with kids...........parallel universe?

One more thing: Hotel CarMatt
Just a reminder that the hotel CarMatt is open. Anyone travelling to Indy or points North is welcome to spend the night. Likewise, anyone travelling from somewhere in the snow-country to Tennessee or points South is welcome to take a rest break. Our pool is open until the heat breaks, so come soon!
BTW: Tomorrow's forecast is 98 degrees with a heat index of 110. If I spot one of those boy band wonders, I'm kickin' him in the shins.

Nashvegas for bid-ness
It looks like I'll be in Nashville for a day and a half (Aug 4-5) for some meetings. It's not firm, but I hope it works out.
The last time I was in town on a Thursday, I went to the weekly poker game. I enjoyed it, but it was toooooo Smokey to repeat. I have the option of going to dinner with everyone or making my own plans. I won't have my own rental this trip, so if anyone would like to pick me up from the hotel by the airport and go to dinner... :) If not, I'm covered, but I'd rather go to dinner with friends than go with 15 other people from out of town.

A message from the dead
Hey everyone!
Well I have one more round of Chemo to go and then I'm done. All my scans to this point say that i am in 100% remission and if I can keep my scans clean for the next 5 years, I should be just fine. This shit sucks. I do not advise anyone to get cancer. It's a lame deal...........kinda like a timeshare only with more needles.
On another note, it looks like I will be moving back to TN. Of all places, Jackson. That's right! Of all the towns from coast to coast that I could be relocated to and they pick Jackson, TN. Amber and I living in the same town again. My new wife just can't wait to meet her. The company that I work for wants me to build an addition onto the hospital in Jackson.
My daughter is growing like crazy. I am having so much fun being a dad. I never knew it was so fun. She is getting to the age where she entertains herself and giggles alot. She turns 11 months this week. She is already saying her first words, taking her first steps, and climbs everything.
I miss everyone. I miss everything. I wish I could have one more summer in the Fraternity house with everyone.

James, can you send an invite to Shawn? I can't find his address anywhere. I can't remember if I sent one to Dennis yet or not. Beyond that, I don't have any addresses.

For those afraid of messing up their e-mail...
I have 50 G-mail invites that I'll dole out as needed. Just drop me a note with your e-mail address, and I'll send one your way.
The purpose of this blog...
This blog is intended to be a place for friends to keep in touch. I'll act as administrator, but will grant posting ability to anyone who has a connection to our friends from MTSU, Sig Ep, or any other common denominator. I'll start communicating this via word of mouth and e-mail. If others will pass this along and start posting, I think this will be a great tool for us to keep up with each other's trials and triumphs. I hope to hear from you guys soon.
