Michelle returned from her French class trip to France (and England) this past week. Her flight from France was 40 minutes ahead of schedule arriving in to Newark, NJ. Unfortunately, the plane for her flight from Newark to Dayton could not leave until 2:00 AM on Thursday morning. I picked her up shortly before 4:00 in the morning. (I wasn't much use the next day).
In any event, she appears to have had a good trip. She's posted some pictures over on her Photobucket site.
The 2008 Olympics will be noteworthy for a variety of reasons. The games are being conducted during one of those periods in history when advances in technology allow us to not only see things in new and different ways but also manage the weather during the Olympics.
This will be a recurring series I believe.

This will be my first post in this new space. I'm accomplishing several things here:
If this works the way I expect I will have a way to keep everyone up to date on how the Pappas family of Troy is doing. I'm going to budget time to keep this updated on a weekly basis.
Now I understand that this is at best impersonal. This doesn't replace my infrequent (at best) phone calls or e-mail messages. But this way I get to indulge a hobby while you all get at least some marginal value associated with knowing what we are doing.
I don't expect this to be a literary classic or gripping in any sense of the word but hopefully you'll get some value from it.
