Over the past few weeks I have waited for information on certain things going on that I would like to find out about and instead there has been no word on these situations. Information on getting a new computer still remains one of them. I called Jim and got his answering machine again this week when I contacted him sometime during the week. Jim was to find out how much parts would cost for him to customize another computer. Jim should not be punished here though for 2 reasons. First, the guy he orders parts from had knee surgery and probably hasn't heard from him and second, his mother's health could possibly have taken a turn for the worst. If there is no response by the end of the month, then it looks like I still will have the computer I have for Easter as my sister will visit. The other thing that I am waiting on still is what is the prognosis of Lara Marshall. I have to wonder if some of the doctors are on vacation. There has been no word since I contacted her dad February 4 and I sent Lara's youngest sister an e-mail on MySpace, but did not reply making me wonder why there is not anything new at all with this. We are still at a standstill with these situations and let's hope this week there is information.

During the first 10 years of Mark Delbrugge's career with Ohio County Schools which began in 1980, he was the Head Baseball Coach at Wheeling Park High School. Delbrugge left the Spring sport position in 1991 to pursue his post-graduate degree, but since then his work with baseball has not. In an article published in Sunday's News-Register, he was honored by the Warwood Lions Club for playing a part in the Warwood Redbirds baseball program which is celebrating it's 50th year this year. Delbrugge has been a father since 1998 when he and his second wife welcomed twins. I knew Mark starting as a Physical Education Teacher at Kruger Street School and we watched the 1981 Peach Bowl game (Played from the 1980 season, not the WVU 1981 season) at his home when he was living with his mother who has since passed on January 2, 1981, we also went to get Spaghetti at the Warwood Kroger.

Some details on Visitor Appreciation Weekend is discussed at my Tripod web site, which will be held March 7, 8 and 9. I will have more details in later blogs.

One thing to watch for this week is reaction from Kim on receiving flowers for Valentines Day. Sunday's Family Circus found the oldest Billy saying he will not wear a shirt he wore to school again, because he was called on 20 times, this was presented back before in 1977 in a Daily being called 5 times, which is 4 times less from the Sunday strip and I welcome Pam from Charleston to 360.yahoo!
