Just thought I let some of the old friends from TTV and G4 here know whats been happening.

:rolleyes: :D :P The best news is that my oldest son doesn't have to make anymore midnight runs for pickles and ice cream. He's the proud father of his first child and I'm a proud first time grandpa. 10 August 04. 8lbs 7oz, blond hair, blue eyed Boy. All doing fine and falling into the new routine.

Second, as some may remember that I was going to start back to college for computers. Went to summer school this summer and took a refresher course in Reading and Writing along with a basic Computer Course. Never had to read so many novels and write so many papers before in my life. But I aced the course and really enjoyed that course. First time I ever liked doing any course that resembled anything in that area. I feel that I actually learned something from it.
As for the computer course, I picked up a few things, but mostly just got practice in doing different operations on my computer, which I badly needed.

I started the fall semester on the 23rd of this month. Too soon to tell how I will do, but I will have my hands full. Taking nothing but computer courses at present time.
A programming course, a programming logic, a business data communication and a LAN wiring/cabling. Lots of terms to learn and lots of lab time on the computer.

So, if you don't see me a posting a lot, you'll know the reason.

Congrats to the parents and grandparents. I hope there is a digital camera around and you post a picture of the newest edition to the family.

Also Bravo for going back to school. Show all the kids up with all you have picked up from the boards. Ha!

God bless everyone.

Congrats ! That's great news. Also congrats on going back to school as you'll do fine. I almost thought about going to school for computers, but computer science scares the hell out of me Lol. Back when I was in broadcast school I had to take a test for the F.C.C. elements 1, 2, & 9 which was calculus. I failed the first test but they let me take it over again and passed. I almost thought I was not going to graduate Lol. but I did. Their were days I asked myself what the hell did I get myself into ? The drop out rate was high at the broadcast school I went to. I was ready to quit after the second week. My instructor talked me out of it though. I was told to wait 4 weeks before making that decision. Glad I did because I never wanted to quit after that. Lots & lots of hard work paid off. I am living proof, if I can make it threw school anybody can. So hang in their when the tough gets going. Show up the younger ones. You'll relly love graduation day. Anyhow I wish you all the luck, best to ya.

Let me add my congrats on being a grandfather. It's even better than being a dad as you can spoil them rotten and then give them back. My grandson started school on Thursday.
