Lots going on in the world

Lots of attention grabbing headlines on the news the past few days. Obviously the biggest story is the horror going on in Iran. Just terrible! The deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and now Michael Jackson also caught my attention. I really liked all three of them in my younger days. Michael obviously had many problems in adulthood but his music was nothing but remarkable. On a more personal note, the shooting of HS FB coach Ed Thomas in Iowa was totally shocking. A very tragic situation. Matt told me he went with Brad Meester (Jaguars center who went to HS there) to that weight room with Brad to workout during a summer and met coach Thomas. Matt felt he was an awesome guy and from what I am hearing, many people felt the same. So very, very sad.

In other news, Sharon and Arne made it to their new home in The Villages in Florida. Hope the humidity isn't too bad. Mark said Iowa is unbearable right now so would assume it is humid in Florida, too. It has been warm here in AZ but of course, it is a "dry heat". :-)

A quick video for the grandpa's to catch up on their two grandchildren:
