Lots happening this week for my family. Yesterday my youngest daughter's boyfriend asked my permission to propose to her by the end of Sept. Tomorrow (8/26) my oldest daughter gets married. And I approve of both of the men my daughters have chosen! And my son (who we are in the process of adopting) starts 9th grade on 8/28. It has been a good two weeks as our son has stopped challenging/fighting us & started to try & fit into our family/rules/etc. Still worried for him as he starts at a new school (for him). On a positive note the school is awesome at mainstreaming children with emotional needs from past trauma. And my wife & I have 10 days off from work together to recharge... Wonderful news, Michael. congratulations to you and your whole family!

Thank you. At the wedding rehearsal when the pastor asked "who gives this woman..." I said "I am Groot". I promised my wife I would be serious tomorrow. My house is filled right now with my nieces that are bridesmaids. They decided to have one last sleepover...it makes my heart happy that our extended family is close. I feel very fortunate.

Just put a bid in on a condo last night and they accepted !
Woo Hoo !
It was priced a little under market and had multiple bids on it.
I took my realtor's advice and bid a little above what they were asking and locked it up.
Going to tour it today with my brother and sister and start making preparations for the move.
Finally getting my life back together again.
Can't do it immediately, but one of the first things is something I've been wanting to do for years : re-box the entire collection !
Going with the DrawerBox system, I'm going to make a wall, or 2, and then a couple of Photoshop collages which I'll print off and wrap the front and sides with.
I plan on it showing my favorites characters from Uncle Scrooge and Jonah Hex, to Cerebus, Invincible, Dr Doom, X-O Manowar, Reid Fleming and more.
Mind you, this is months down the road, but I'm finally going to do it. When I do, it'll definitely get a pic on CCF.
Going to use my old comic boxes, long and short, for lighter weight items I need to store in the garage. I might just use cheap contact paper to freshen em up a bit. Some of them are older than my son, who just turned 29 !

He's a poet and don't know it. His feet show it. They're Longfellows.
