Vacation and Time with Tom!

Spent a week with Tom, Kevin, and Mickey on the motorcycle, during a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains this past week.

It was nice to spend some time with Alex's Godfather before he ships out in November to Afganistan for a year.

We toured a little of the mountains, went on some Patriot Guard Rider missions, and ate out a lot.

In the pic from left to right: Mickey, Kevin, Me and Tom.

It was good to see him and ride in the wind for almost 2000 miles.

And Congrats to Tom and Mickey - when Tom got back to base after the trip, they got hitched! Welcome to the family Mick!

Goin To Jail (For a Great Cause!)

Yeah, its April 1st, but this is no joke.

My friend Paul for several years now has donated his time in raising money for Musclar Dystrophy. This year he has teamed with another fellow engineer here at work , (also a Paul) to raise money to cure MD. Its great, someone dressed up as a cop actually comes to our workplace and handcuffs these guys and draggs them off to jail. While they are in there, we all can raise "bail" to get them free, and the money goes to a great cause.

Here's a link to donate to the cause in their names: https://www.joinmda.org/MyLockup/MyHomepage/tabid/54466/Participant/pauljsmith5/Default.aspx
