Having Weather is better than not having any, because without Weather, what would people do to start a conversation???
For a look at the national weather, try the Interactive Weather Information Network from the National Weather Service. It has features that let you pick any state, review national level features, and stay on top of warnings and world weather of significance. |

On the left is one version of my family crest, carried to North America by the family members who came here in 1635. Additional views can be seen at this link or its mirror here. I admit I got VERY lucky because I found a cousin who had all of the information from my grandfather back to 1635 - the step I had been seeking for over 30 years! Here are my Family Connections. |
Speaking of family, here is a link to the story of the search one of my nephews has been conducting to find out more about his father (my brother-in-law). |

Have you ever heard of a "Netsuke"? International Netsuke Society: Here is a source of information about an art form that I have come to enjoy very much; if you want to see a real example, stop by my office and I will show you my replica Demon Catcher -- and i hope you enjoy pictures of some netsuke I have held in my hands. Another good basic tutorial is available at the WorldCollectorsNet Internet site |
For more information , here is a nice site put up by a netsuke dealer. This lady's site presents a good basic background on netsuke's. |
What IS Artistic Roller Skating? |
|
| For one thing, it's my hobby and has been a continual source of some competitive success tempered with the occasional injury - if you have never seen or heard of artistic roller skating, the link above will take you to my skating site that will hopefully start to explain it all. And you can also stop by my office and review a video of recent National championships -- | If anyone out there is a skater and wants to go to an open session for adults in Omaha (no one under 18), stop by, call, or send me an e-mail note using the form below; and if anyone is a former competitive skater and wants to get back into it again --PLEASE CONTACT ME-- ( I am also a Certified Artistic Skating Coach)

| If you have never been to Nationals have you ever wondered what it is like in the arena as an event gets ready to get underway? Here is a short photo essay that I put together to try to convey the feelings and happenings of Competing at the Nationals | |
Fun Links On the Lighter Side
There are links to a number of other diverse interests that some of you may enjoy visiting. Hopefully these links will help cut the tension when the going gets heavy during a study session and take you to new and interesting places.
So there you have it - a Home Page of personal interests and activities. The views expressed on all of my Web pages are mine alone, not anyone else's, any where, any time!
