One of my favorite photos ever, taken on the beach at Empire, Michigan, five years ago today. We were celebrating my birthday by wandering around Michigan's little finger--Leelanau County.

Another pic from this year's calendar.

It's Joan's birthday. I thought I'd celebrate it with a photo.

Me, in my office, on my fiftieth birthday in 1999. Things to note:

* The computer books, mostly on SQL and MSAccess. I wasn't an IT guy, but my job had geeky tendencies.
* Not sure what the critter behind my shoulder was, nor how it got there. Perhaps a birthday joke.
* Yes, I had a window office. In fact, I had this specific cubicle twice.
* All that paper. My office was always like that.
* All those pins in the pinboard.
* The Coke bottles. More often they were RC bottles.
* The mouse pad, atop a stack of papers and a clipboard, with a photo of Bay Furnace. Bay Furnace is near Christmas in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Really.
* The Baseball America Great Ballparks calendar.
* The 1999 STATS Minor League Scouting Notebook by John Sickels, on the desktop. John's books, and his email newsletters, were essential background material for my Fans Guide to the Midwest League project.
* Schedules for the Michigan Battle Cats and Lansing Lugnuts on the partition in front of the window.

Not sure who took the photo, but it was taken with my Nikon N90s. Photo scan by Seattle Filmworks.

A Celebration of Joan, on our Anniversary.

We've been married for four years, but we've been a couple for a long time. Thought I post a few pictures.

It's 1995, here; and we're in DC, about to explore the Smithsonian.

It's Labor Day weekend in 1999, and Mom's hosting the family at Jolli-Lodge, on Lake Michigan south of Leland.

Debbie (my sister), Joan (my wife), and Richard (my brother), walking along the harbor (St Joseph River) channel in St. Joseph, Michigan. We were heading to the pier on Lake Michigan. 8/24/2013.

Yesterday my sister posted a little essay to Facebook that mostly described a phone call we'd had the day before--just keeping in touch; no substance to the call. The essay also talked about her cat, vocalizing, but the note was mostly about reaching out to friends and family.

She attached a photograph she'd taken on this visit to St. Joseph, of Joan and Dick and me, on the pier, with the lighthouse on the other pier in sight. I almost immediately added this photo in the comments; soon Joan chipped in with an image she'd taken during this visit. 'Twas a fine, and well documented, afternoon.

Anyway, here's to better times. And to memories.

My mom, and her dad, on a porch somewhere in Iowa, around 1930. Today would have been Mom's 94th birthday.

Probably my favorite photo in the family collection.

A story you've heard before: I handed my new camera (actually, phone) to Joe Ross, and Joe took my photo. He does this.
