Default Heart of Gold, Spring and a new house!


Well, I thought it might be worth a few moments to stop by my old
command and see how the crew is doing. Not much is changed, but that's
as it should be.
It's true, we've moved from Queens to a house in Putnam County. It's
2600 sq. feet including the finished basement. As I type the basement
is being remodeled for a new home theatre system using a better
projector, SVS subs and Revel speakers. The house is wonderful; 4
bedrooms, enclosed deck and nearly two and a half acres of beautiful
wooded land.

House in summer...

We're pretty excited and will be fully moved in next Tuesday. In spite
of the very private setting, we're just an hour from NYC and about
35-40 minutes from our slip. The cleared area to the left of the house
is perfect for Thomas (and not too much for my little tractor) and
also ideal for observing the night skies. There are other families in
our area, but no other house can be seen from our house! Suzanne found
work at a hospital 10 minutes away and Thomas is set for a lot of
fun...as we all are.

Heart of Gold is set to splash on April 6th and she's got a new larger
pentax genoa and drifter for us to play with. So far it's been another
great year!
I hope you all enjoy the summer. I'll post occasional photos, but will
not take part in any discussions.

Clear skies to all,
