A Few Photos

I love pictures. I've heard tell that they tell a thousand words, and that's a lot of typing that I just don't have the time for. So I chose the alternate route: ten minutes of pulling-my-hair-out stress and voila! I can now put as many photos as I so choose on this little page of mine!

In this one to the right, I am floating in mid-air. Just kidding. In fact, I am being suspended by a rather sizable chunk of metal that just so happens to be connected to the largest motor I've ever seen. It's called a chair lift and they can be found at almost any ski resort, including HoliMont. Located in Elicottville, New York, this picturesque and perfectly sized club is the best place to go for a weekend on the slopes. (And I found out from a VERY reliable source that Matthew Perry has visited...)

Pictured here, at left, are my two favorite ladies in the whole wide world. At this point, we are on our way down the hill at HoliMont's Fall Festival. (If, for some reason, you start reading things in the middle of the page, scroll up so that things make sense.)

Anyway, back to my leading point. This is Mom and Lianne who I love and who I'm pretty sure feel the same way about me. The three of us get along wonderfully, for which I am so grateful.

These photos are quite ancient by this point in November, but I just unearthed them in an archaeological dig for the technological era, so I decided to share them with the world. I hope you enjoyed them! Stay tuned for more photos to come...

South Haven

To a younger version of myself, South Haven Michigan was a place where time stood still. However during my most recent visit over the Thanksgiving holiday, I realized that nothing could preserve these wide open fields and thickly forested areas from the commercial appeal of chain stores and housing developments. It's a sad thing, but it's reality.
My dad mentioned that since his childhood the town and its surroundings has gone through a time warp of big city development. I'm very curious to see how this tiny and close-knit community handles all these changes.
So here's to a unique town commercialized and the wonderful people who are lucky enough to have lived there. (Especially to the Daggetts. You guys are wonderful!)

Beginnings (Read Me First!)

Of all the aspects of a life, beginnings are by far the most consistent. Always new and fresh, they seldom disappoint.
Consistency is what makes this world go around, literally. Without at least a little bit of routine, our lives would be chaos.
It is with this philosophy on mind that I make this commitment to contribute to a blog regularly. But keep in mind that chaos does befall people at times, so I'm not making any steadfast promises.
In any event, I hope you enjoy the accounts of the life and happenings of me.
