The Good, the Bad and the Ugly by the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain

So, evidently there is such a thing as a Ukulele Orchestra. This is an entertaining performance of the theme music from the movie.

A trip to Avon in June

I'm taking a trip to Avon between June 20th and June 21st.

Visiting Mark, Lisa and kids for Mel's graduation party. We'll spend the night visiting with Dad, Mike, Barb and all the kids. Matt may visit with Nicole if they can make arrangements. We'll see.

Michelle's Graduation

We hosted Michelle's Graduation reception last night at the Hayner Center.  We were really pleased that so many of our friends and relatives were able to attend.  I have posted a portion of the photos in a set entitled Michelle Graduation Pics on Flickr.

Because Brown Publishing views content as having a fresh date and remove content after a period of time, I am storing their article in total here. Please consider it an archive to the Troy Daily News:

Michelle (and her team) at Manchester United

I envy Michelle being able to visit Old Trafford (Manchester United's stadium map). This is a photo from her first day after landing. Flickr has another couple of pictures. I have also attached the better pictures directly to this post.

Also, the team is playing in a tournament while they are over there. Hopefully they can be competitive. The tournament is publishing game (fixture) results. You'll need to go to the Umbro Kits Trophy Group 1 to see the team's bracket.

Three Minute Macrobiotic Breakfast

I would normally just put this on my Del.icio.us link list, but this is so god awful sounding that I have to try it. I hate cleaning up after cooking so that part of the rationale behind this works for me.
