Some Pictures as 2010 comes to close

2010 was been a difficult year, involving loss, and change, neither one are favorites of mine. Clearly I can not understate how hard these past months have been on Ilene. The loss of her mom Shirley has been a tragic, traumatic, and has left a deep scar. I have to say that she, Steven and Ed; have all shown a level of strength that I'm SURE I don't possess.



Lane's move to Latin for high school has been a challenge; but one that he is handling quite well. He has just finished his first semester, and by all objective measures, it went quite well.

I have explained to him that if I have "My expectations Too High" it's his own fault for getting straight "A"s for the past few years. 



So I will take break from looking at some less-than-stellar business results, and post some recent fun pictures.


 
Yes that's the Stanley Cup (not an empty keg of beer)




Friends Taylor, Nick &Donna
This was an amazing costume.

He wanted his hair black; so I found some "Temporary" spray to put in his hair.

By the start of the night he was the Fonz, but as the night wore on, his hair started getting a bit lighter, while his face started getting much darker; by the end of the night he looked more like
Al Jolson.



Sam and Alan were nice enough to travel to Detroit,
along with several other of our close friends;
I know it was a great support for Ilene.
