Here are some old blogs from the archives. A note that might help make more sense of these posts: The primary audience was my mother. She was living in Arizona and this was before she was on Facebook. My sister Deb or Mom’s neighbors would print the posts for her to read. Also, note that none of the links from the original posts are active.
January 2005
January 1. Another New Year's Eve at the Val-Air Ballroom and, as always, a lot of fun. The same group, the Conroys, the Mays, the Burdettes, and the Robinsons did our lemming-like return to the ballroom and shuffled on the dance floor after gorging on the great food catered by Christiani’s VIP Catering Service, LTD. The featured band was “Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits”. He is the original “Herman”. Great show! We got autographs after the show and I recommended that he change the words from “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter” to Mrs. Greenwood You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter”! There was kind of a hush all over the room.
January 8. Well, we now run our own homeowners association. Remember the old adage about getting what you want may be the worst thing to happen. That may be true here. At the very least it will be a lot of work for the first months and years. I have been holding almost weekly board meetings in my basement. The other board members are a great group of guys and the process has been fun.
