During the past three months, we have had so many new things going on and stuff to share but not the kind of news to share over a blog. Here is the outline in chronological order: Melissa is pregnant after 3 years of trying. Still trying to find out who the father is and when I do...! October 20th 10am, I get laid off from Beazer Homes. October 20th 2pm, I got a call from Brambleton for an interview. October 26th?, ultrasound shows two hearts beating. November 2nd, start new job at Brambleton making more money than at Beazer. November 6th, I turn 33 years old. November...

No one can pretend to feel your pain like him and people still like him. In case you haven't heard, I will be unemployed by the end of the month for the first time since I have had actual responsibilities in life. I have talked to a couple recruiting agencies already and gotten one bite on a job in Lancaster, PA. Melissa and I really want to stay in Virginia, especially if I go through with the Game and Simulation Programming degree I am signing up for. It is so nice here with the scenery and...

I guess it's getting dark outside earlier and the leaves are starting to fall here. At least off of one of the oak trees anyway. And I must say that my new blower/vac/mulcher works pretty well. Besides that, things are going pretty well. Nothing to complain about. I could always go into some political yap-athon, but I could do that every day. I chose not to do that, because people wouldn't be holding their breath to read it like they do now, right? I'm only going to say one thing political right now. Once again our county, Culpeper County, is putting a referendum on the...

The second annual Culpeper Labor Day Party grows near. We have reserved a block of 3 or 4 rooms at the Best Western if anyone that doesn't have a room needs one. I think it will be much like last year with the corn on the cob boil, the white trash pool, cornhole and the Super Slip N' Slide. I am trying to come up with something to add to the slide. Thought about ramp so kids could go airborne, but then I thought that I might get hurt. Maybe just improve on the splash pool and something to stop...

We just came back from the Greene family vacation last week. This year we went to the OBX. If you don't know what that is, tough. There is a OBX sticker on 25% of the cars on the whole east coast. We got a house right on the beach. The water was way too cold in the ocean, but that is what private heated pools are for. We were actually in Waves, NC on Hatteras Island. It's a little far from anything else, but nice. Let's see, it's after midnight and the Prince Michel wine is...

He is okay now and probably being discharged from Walter Reed Hospital today. Here is the story as I know it: His group was walking down a town street. I don't know which town. As they were walking past one of the buildings, gunfire came from it hitting one guy in the leg and grazing the neck of another. This building was in a courtyard and kind of surrounded by walls. The rest of the team positioned themselved around the house. There was one guy right next to the door and Super Sarge,...

It was the first time I ever had a stomach muscle cramp up. I weighed in at 241.6 lbs. I don't know what happened just over a week ago when I stepped on the scale and it showed 251 lbs. Too late now, the check is cashed. I will give an update every time I officially get weighed. Goodbye for now. http://bjgreene.blogdrive.com/comments?id=81 http://bjgreene.blogdrive.com/archive/80.html Thu, 16 Mar 2006 00:43:29 GMT More about the title a little later. Melissa, Melissa, what's up with ya, how does your garden grow? That's right, it's garden time and of course we are taking another Greene family vacation right in the middle of planting season. Oh well. Growing pretty much the same stuff, only a little less. I stuffed too many plants in my 4'x8' beds last year. But if it's as hot as it was last year, those plants can choke to death for all I care. I gotta say before I move on that you guys missed out on one HELL of a blog. After I finished up Nathan's Tribute, I went on a tear about some of my...

So as I was saying, Nathan was around 3 years old and living in a house way off the road with no houses around. They were literally surrounded by cornfields. So it was natural for boys to pee wherever and whenever they had to in that kind of setting. Kind of like college guys walking home from the bars and one of them getting frisked by the police because they though there was a theft going on. Another great Penn State story for later, right 00-zero?. Pap and Gramma Greene lived in the town of East Palestine, OH which is not far from...

I'm talking about how there is a connection between family members even though you don't know them nearly as well as a friend or even some co-workers. My cousin, Sgt. Nathaniel Greene, is stationed in Iraq right now. I didn't realize this until early December. I knew that he was in Afghanastan for a while then he got shipped to Iraq this fall. Nathan also got married within the past year. My uncle had a reception for him in Ohio because they got married away from home. It was the first time I saw him in about a year and if I was a towel head... (more) http://bjgreene.blogdrive.com/comments?id=78
