OK - Now, I can post ads again.  No more campaign ads, no more smears, no more lack of control over the message of my website and blog.  

That said, it’s time to move forward.  For weeks/months, I’ve been focused on my wedding on October 4th. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with the election.  That’s done and it’s time to focus on the smaller world: mine.  Back to work. Back to dreaming. 

To get “forward” started, I’m posting Imagine, by John Lennon.  My brother, Jeff, read it at my wedding.  The hopeful, peaceful lyrics mean a lot to family members and resonate today, which I think was made clear on Tuesday.  So, here it are the lyrics:

Since I bought my trampoline, I am forced to exercise in my backyard.  But, whether I’m inside or out for the stretching phase of my work-outs, I have a constant companion who just can’t leave me alone.  

Here’s what happens:

The biggest day of my life turned out to be a magical fairy-tale, as enchanting as our engagement photo above, which we call “Flying Kiss.”

Just got back from a trip to Scotland. I had my new camera and was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time while the first massed bagpipe band of the day began.

I hope you enjoy it!

Leigh: ULL Years

Recently, a college classmate wrote to me.  He shared a link to a sports discussion forum for my alma mater, ULL - University of Louisiana in Lafayette.  It put a huge grin on my face.

The upshot: it appears that a great way to be remembered is to don a tight leotard and jump high in the rafters on a trampoline during local college basketball game half-time shows in front of thousands of screaming fans with a little beer in their bellies  - especially for such a popular and successful basketball team as USL (now ULL).  

We had so much fun back then.  It’s nice to know that my college mates and community remembers me and my sports activities from those days.
