Shutting down the St Margarets Community Website After sixteen years of running the St Margarets Community Website, I decided to close it down. I often thought about what I wanted to do with the site, how I would pass it along or how I would turn it off. In the end, it was a fairly easy decision, I just had to write the final posts, add a message and make a plan on how to turn off the bits that will not age well.

My Speech at the Memorial for Dad We recently had a memorial for my father at the Milwaukee Yacht Club. I reluctantly spoke for the family. It was pretty difficult to do. The four speakers that preceded me, Randy, Terry, Marv and Ted, said such lovely things, and my boys both read, the start of the Hobbit and The Road Less Travelled by Frost, that I was pretty emotional. For two of the items, I had my brother come read them.

Best Children's Books
My good friends John & Kim Cook asked me which kid’s books I liked the best. I thought that I would start to capture a list of the ones that I like and the kids like.

Magic of Business Photography
I love lifestyle and business photography. Most of us don’t even realize what we are looking on business websites and many magazines. Its just normal to be reading a story on the growth of PDAs or something with an image of an attractive kid on a scooter with a phone. Part of the problem is that it is hard to take an abstract concept and depict it graphically… or even photographically. But occasionally you come across a real winner, one that makes you think… “it is me, or was the creative guy here on drugs…”
