Happy Fathers Day Weekend

Wanted to say happy fathers day to a couple of men that had a big part in making Ripline happen.



I thought some quotes I read (yes dad, I do read sometimes Winking ) would be appropriate. The following made me think of ya’ll:

  • Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.  ~Bill Cosby
  • "None of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of such a Father who has not his equal in this world - so great, so good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps and don't be discouraged, for to be really in everything like him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be like him in some points, and you will have acquired a great deal." -- Queen Victoria of England
  • When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.  But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.  ~Mark Twain, "Old Times on the Mississippi" Atlantic Monthly, 1874
  • He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.  ~Clarence Budington Kelland
  • Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name.  ~William Wordsworth

Thank you for all that you do!

Added some new pictures to the Photo Album

Added some new pictures of the motorcycle trip that I got form the other guys that went. I put a description in the top left of the single picture view (once you enter the album, double click on one of the pictures to make it bigger) so you will be able to figure out what’s going on.

Also put up short video of Mady at the Scholastic Awards Banquet. Then end of the video is funny. Mady gets a little confused on where she needs to exit the stage! Happy

Posted Pictures of My Motorcycle Trip

Just put up some pictures of my motorcycle trip to Arkansas. I will be adding text to the photos soon so that you can tell where we are and what we were doing. A couple of the guys that went also took pictures and they will be getting there pictures to me soon. Once I have them I will post those as well.

I also have a video that I will add later today of Mady at her awards ceremony.
