My world now

Sit and ponder all that you are grateful for. We are more blessed than we can imagine, and we need to be humbled now and then by counting just how many ways that is.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to shoot another gorgeous sunset from a new place! This was taken in Tucson, AZ on Friday, 28-JAN-05.

Greetings, traveler. Stay and

CELEBRATION ON THE GRAND!

Home for me is Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Governor of the State of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, currently has a campaign to promote Michigan titled "Cool Cities." The program's focus is to help stem the outflow of younger workers to other markets.

Well, I think Grand Rapids is pretty cool. There's so much to do, and it is a comfortable place to live. Anyway, your comments are the lifeblood of VT, and I appreciate the advice you give. Always have fun, as I will strive to do while I continue to update the pages....

I've recently updated some pages, check them out!!

Here's the current weather where I live:

Many VT-er's offer thoughtful prose, favorite passages, and etc. Disappointingly, I don't read great works like I should, so I offer up to you something I find humorous instead.

You see, I like much of Pete Yorn's album Musicforthemorningafter, but I'm the reason websites like Kissthisguy are so successful. I don't listen to the lyrics as much as I appreciate the mood of the music, how it makes me feel. This album was great listening, and intoned in me a sadness that was accompanied by great hope.

HA HA HA! Imagine my surprise when I finally truly listened to what Pete the Prophet was saying on some of those songs:

Only save
Try to find another way
I'm taking what I gave to you again

Some new day
I could understand your face
You can even hold my hand
If you would like to

It came up unexpected
I had to follow through
And it's hard when you're lookin' like you do

It was easy when you were younger
You could put it back together
It was there if you ever wanted it
But you closed the door
And said goodbye for good

So this is a mistake
Try to find a better way
You were never fond of anything I said

Can we begin again?
Save it for another friend
I was happy in my life
I won't pretend

Every time you were expecting
To reach out and forgive this
I was hardened by the look upon your face

It was easy when you were younger
You could put it back together
It was there if you ever wanted it
But you closed the door
And said goodbye for good
For good

Is that hilarious irony or what? Only me.............

AND NOW, THE OTHER SIDE

Dance like nobody's watching

Okay, to be fair to Pete the Prophet, I feel that I should include one that I both enjoy as well as find the lyrics to be a bit lighter:

Some day
I’ll look into her green eyes
And know that she’ll come with me
A girl like you

Too many
things I do not care for
But one thing I adore
Is a girl like you

I’ll always try
To look you in the eye
It’s OK
With a girl like you

Tomorrow
I think I’ll tell you something
A thing that I haven’t said
To a girl like you

And even if
I don’t know what the day will bring
Still I can tell most anything
To a girl like you

I hope you approve, dear visitor reading this. Thank you for indulging me for a few moments.

RUN AWAY!

BRAZEN GAZIN'?

It's kindergarten graduation night! A glorious evening, albeit a bit warm. This event took place at Hager park in Jenison, MI. I get the feeling that she's not too pleased with her classmate for some reason, what do you think?

The Newest Addition

P O L I T I C O ??

Triumph came home to live with us on 29-NOV-03. He's now just over a year old.
Here's an updated picture from 18-DEC-04. Luckily, the elections are over as some might find this a politically offensive promotion for a particular candidate.

Sparty on!
