Greg's book is out! You can purchase it either through Publish America or through
Amazon - look for Gatecrash.
The second book is due out before November 2006.
Keith is currently serving in Iraq. Carrie and the girls have remained at
Ft. Hood, near Killeen Texas. He is doing very
with his unit and has received both the Achievement Award and a Commendation
Medal!
Stephen continues to live with our friends, Nic and Emily Vitori. He is currently
doing freelance computer
maintenance and internet work. He is engaged to Gwyn, the daughter of
one of my good friends.
He is striving to get his driver's license which will certainly help his business
venture.
Greg and I have collaborated on several art projects which can be seen on
deviantart.com under the name
Zymurgea. Most of the work is rather 'ahem' dealing with bondage themes and
fantasy art.
We are also continually working on the gamebooks for Gaterunner. For more
information on Gaterunner,
see Schram's site at gaterunner.com. We are meeting monthly for tabletop gaming.
Presently there are anywhere
from 7 to 9 players attending. There are also 4 of us who are meeting weekly
for regular D&D adventures.
Since May I've been taking World Dance classes at World Rhythm and Movement.
The style is a conglomeration
of Belly Dancing, Flamenco and Gypsy. I also have been taking other lessons with
Emily, Gwyn, Sheila and sometimes Rose
with Camille.
In the Manor House section of this website, you can read and see photos of
our completed bathing room project.
And to think I thought the kitchen was a bear to remodel - this room turned
out to be a real fiasco!
I have still to have the pipes for the sink to be fixed and to replace it.

When I first purchased my house, in the front room was a massive bar that
was made with 4x6 planks and was sturdy enough to,
well, do anything on it. A few years ago, I was talked into removing it (I
still wonder why I allowed that to happen?)
Yet it did take up the majority of the floor space. I still haven't decorated
the room. But now I have a theme - An Adventurer's Club
like what existed in the early 1900's with African type tropical motif. I plan
on getting some popason chairs and other
furniture made of whicker and ratan. It should be a great place to hang out
and drum.
A couple
of months ago, one of my friends gave me his tiki bar as he was moving and
had no place to put it. As my ceilings
are too high to hang it and I really
didn't want to put any holes in the fragile plaster, I constructed a stand
made with iron pipe:
