Been almost a year
Mood:  caffeinated

Hello people. Been a long time but after a medically and psychologically induced emotionally significant event at the end of Feb. there have been some changes to my life. High blood pressure and other factors have dictated that I implement some life style changes. I really enjoy my whiskey but that is over now. No alcohol is the order of the day, everyday. Feb. 29^th. Was the first day and with the help of support groups and my counselor David my blood pressure is better than ever. I also have had a sleep study and hopefully this day I will get a cpap machine to counter my sleep apnia. This should also help the blood pressure as well as allow me to finally start getting the restful sleep I have so sorely missed over the years.

Over the last year I have seen the new additions to the family. Layla, Logan and Gina's daughter and Audrianna, Molly and Billy's daughter. Last fall Lucille Hohenschau, Mary Jane's mother has been moved up here in Mason and lives at the Jefferson Street apartments Senior Living Facility.

They both live in North Los Vegas and are working on the Palazzo Casino. I believe it is the biggest steel concern being erected in the US at this time.

Lanny and Loree' allowed me to stay at their home and I was able to learn about Lanny and I'm Very Happy to say that my sister has really got herself a good man.

Lanny and Loree' have a few friends from work, Garry and Terri. They also have a next door neighbor Robert. You can see a short video of them and catch Lannys Oklahoma accent here.VIDEO







I'd like to conclude this entry by saying that Lanny loves my sister with so much blinding love that I am very proud to have him as a brother in law. I look forward to meeting more of my new family as well as letting him meet my wife Merry. I had never been to Los Vegas and I saw the Rocky's and Canyons for the first time going out there. Congratulations to Loree' and Lanny Sisson.

Ok I was just thinking about what Mark Dantanino was about when I made a statement about this new coach. I had no idea that I would be quoted. My apolagies to all my spartan friends, family, and Mr. Smith.


Those who know Dantonio's name say it's perfect fit
BY MATTHEW MULER
Lansing State Journal
Sitting at the bar of Dagwood's Monday afternoon, Terry Gardner said he knew one thing about MSU's new football coach, Mark Dantonio: that he didn't know much about him.
"No one I've talked to knows anything about this guy or why he'd be a good coach," the Mason man said. "I'm anxious to find out more."
Many Spartan fans found themselves in a similar situation, saying the former University of Cincinnati coach was an unknown quantity.
But they greeted the decision to hire him with a cautious sort of optimism.
"I don't know anything about him, but I wish him a lot of luck," said Larry Zbanek of East Lansing. "He's coming into a program that needs a lot of help from the top down."

Indeed, MSU's lackluster season under John L. Smith has left many fans longing for a change and some said Monday they're not too picky about how it happens.
"I'm looking forward to getting some better seasons," said Dagwood's owner Mark Chea-dle. "I don't care who they bring, as long as they win some games."
Jerry Sutton of Lansing rents one of the luxury suites at Spartan Stadium. His view: "Suite or no suite, it was a disappointing football season."
And though Sutton doesn't know much about Dantonio, what he does know makes him optimistic.
"He's been with winning programs. He's been here, so he knows the environment here. I would have hope for him," Sutton said.
A significant amount of nay-saying has popped up hi the blogosphere.
For instance, this was posted Monday morning on LSJ.com's blog, Hey Joe!, by Rudy Peck-am: "Get ready for 4 more years of pain. If this guy can't win more than 7 game(s) at the small

tune level what can we expect in the Big 10? Thanks for the hope MSU!"
But there are also some — particularly those who have followed Dantonio's career more closely — who think his hiring is just the ticket.
Dave Krause, an MSU senior and co-director of the Corner Blitz, the official student section at MSU football games, is one of them.
"Overall, I think it's a great move," he said. "Wherever he's served, he's done great things, so we're looking forward to seeing great things come out of him when he's head coach at Michigan State."
Steve Rothwell of DeWitt said Dantonio was "a great hire."
"He's a disciplinarian with ties to the Midwest and Michigan State. I think it's great for recruiting and great for MSU," he said.
And better, he added, than John L. Smith.
"At this point, I think anything else would be better than him," Rothwell said.

in all fairness. Yes I was aware of his old history at MSU with Sabin and I was very aware of his history at Ohio bling ring. Yes I was aware of the upset with Rutgers. But I was ignorant when running my Mouth. I just wanted to say what I felt. Duh And another Duh. And yes The ring Impressed me Very much.

I’m not getting a lot done today. It’s my only day off this week and I’m grouchy and feel under pressure. I did purchase two new lithium batteries for my Media Player & Video Recorder Camcorder. I want to be prepared this year to record the Holidays. I will be off work from Christmas through the 7th of January.

I copied a football training DVD for a pal at work. I sure hope those copies work for him.

With the passing away of Bo Schembechler I was more than happy to watch and cheer on the Wolverines Saturday afternoon after work. It was a great game and I was surprised when my Mom called me up and let me know that she was also watching the game. Merry and I watched the game at the Mason Jar.

I think I’ll approach the afternoon by getting ready for work. That way I will ready to go tomorrow morning. My boots will take at least half an hour to clean up and shine. And it will take hours to get my uniforms ready.

Howdy

She bought me flowers which is more than I deserve.. I will probubly work a double today esp. in light of the fact that I am up next on the mando list.Sweetest Day Link

First Day Back
Mood:  d'oh
Now Playing: Led Zep
Well on my first day back to work I was the Food Service Officer. It was a nice slow way to get back into the groove. I was wondering how Vance was doing. I heard he was still working but today he was not there. The picture of him is with Officer Ganun. That reminds me She wanted to get a tune from Led Zep, Your Time is Gonna Come. I found it. Your Time Is Gonna ComeIt is off Led Zeppelin I 1969.I will give her all the versions. She rocks as well as Vance. It was nice to see Vaive and it was very cool that he was going after a better job even though he had Cindy do his easy work. LOL He knows what I mean. As normal the food service equipment was screwed up and by lunch time no dishwasher and paper products were used. A very expensive contractor came in to fix the problems. I could not even use the can before I left. YUP I'm back to work.


Duhhhhhh!

Vacation is OVER
Mood:  a-ok
The vacation is over. It was great to see Loree. She is so skinny.
The boat ride on the lake and the ribeyes that Mike cooked up were fantastic.
There are many deer up there and it was fun to see them. Watching the X-MenX-Men Theme song was a ton of fun.
It was a great time.
