The example set by my parents in how to love each other through good times and bad will always stick with me. They seem more loving towards each other now than ever before (at least in my relatively short time being around). They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in April and we had a few parties to mark the big event. On the gallery page, first you’ll see the pictures of the grandkids having fun at Nana & Bampa?s house and giving some small gifts. After those pictures are some of a small formal dinner we did with the older ones. We had fun at both and I think Mom & Dad did too!

See the images here…

So as I had mentioned many months ago (or sadly about two or three posts ago) my plan was to separate the personal “family & friends” site from the “geek stuff” site. Augiewan.com (this site) will remain the more personal site focusing on the recent happenings of my family and friends as well as some occasional personal views and rants.

The posts and content focusing on stuff like toys, art, comics, and other geeky things will now be found at theSpeakEasy.com.

So basically, family and friends stay here…

Geeks go here…

I really hate the wait between football seasons because it happens to be the only sport I care to watch.  It’s even a harder wait when there’s so much in the air regarding your team.  My Packers for instance have been on a major roller coaster for the past few years.  After a long run of success, they sank to a very forgettable 4 wins in 2005, rose to a so-so even wins & losses in 2006, to an overtime field-goal loss away from making it to the Super Bowl in 2007.  It would have been really nice to have watch MY team beat the New England Cheaters, er…  I mean Patriots…

But here the Packer fans sit, waiting and wondering if Aaron Rodgers will be able to carry on the winning ways that the Packers regained during the last year of the Brett Favre era.  I think he’ll do well as long as he doesn’t go and get hurt again.  He’s been with the team long enough to know the system and he showed that he could play well in last year’s game against Dallas. We’ll see…
