Saugatuck, MI 2008

We completed our annual family father's day drip to Saugatuck, MI. Everyone had a great time and the kids are dying to go back. With my foot I didn't get to hike or swim but I read a book, relaxed and had a great time too.

Here's a picture of my favorite restaurant in Saugatuck and some of the docks.

William Shatner

Great article on William Shatner. It really captures him well. He's strange duck, but I really enjoy him.

Music Video

I worked with a gentleman by the name of Steve Bevil for a few years. He's bright, well organized and very pleasant to work with. I knew he wrote, sang and produced music on the side but didn't have a chance to hear anything he did until a few days ago. Here is one of his songs posted on youtube. Unfortunately Steve has left ISA, where I work, for a new job. Hopefully he'll keep me appraised of his musical pursuits. He is working in the building my wife works in so I am hoping the odds of staying in touch are a bit higher.



The video was shot and edited by Bret Henrikson another guy I work with. I have been aware of Bret's strong interest in shooting and editing video and we've even worked together on an ISA video project. I thought Bret did an excellent job shooting and editing this video. The selection is tasteful and complements the music very well.

Nice job to both Bret and Steve.

Steve, I know you've peaked at this blog before. Please stay in touch.

Progress with my foot

I am continuing to make progress with my foot. I am walked more and more without crutches, although when I do I tend to get carried away then wind up in quite a bit of pain from pushing myself. It does feel good to be more self-sufficient. I almost feel like myself. Driving and the amount of activity are the two biggest limitations I have left.

The cast is starting to get stinky! It's warm and I am sweating more, so don't get to close. I can't get it it wet so there isn't much foot washing going on.

I get the cast off next Thursday afternoon and will be in a surgical boot which will allow me to walk more normally. I'll also get a special boot I can switch into to drive comfortably. I'm looking forward to the change.
