Hi,
This website contains a snapshot of some of the things going on in my life.  At the bottom of the page are some quotes that I find are particularly profound, either in their timeliness, or in their transcendence of time.  The rest is fun stuff.  Aimee and I anxiously await the arrival of our daughter in April, and the challenges of building a home next fall.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
(Paris Sorbonne,1910)

“In light of this situation, we need to be prepared to fight a different war....

"This is a new kind of war, new in it's intensity, ancient in it's origin...war by guerillas, subversives, insurgents, assassins; war by ambush instead of combat, by infiltration instead of aggression, seeking victory by exhausting the enemy instead of engaging him. It requires....in those situations where we encounter it...a new kind of strategy, a wholly different kind of force, and therefore, a new and wholly different kind of awareness and training."

John F. Kennedy,
President of the United States 
West Point, New York - June, 1962

"Let's roll..."
