If interested you can find it here:...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives472/635399I've been married ten years now. Not sure what kind of an omen it is that our 10th anniversary falls on a Friday the 13th.

So...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives472/631616I have not really had much time to do any blogging as of late. I am in charge of the Haunter House fund raiser for Cub Scouts, and that is taking up just about all my free time. But it is very much worth it.
