Radio appearance today
As you know, I usually appear on "Talk with Ron Williams" on 940 AM at 3:10 p.m. Thursdays. However, the baseball game went long Thursday, so I will be on today. The time is tentatively set for 3:10 p.m.
Hope you can tune in. You can also listen live on the Web at www.espnlima.com.
My two new weblogs
My activity here the last week has been minimal because I was busy creating two new personal weblogs.
Lucente su Vino: This is my personal weblog on all things wine. I am doing this just for fun, so I don't expect my blogging will be excessive, probably no more than once or twice a week. I plan to talk about news in the wine world as well as reviews of wines I drink. This won't be a technical blog on wines, just my impressions in plain language. I may also talk about specialty beers and homebrewing as well as making wine at home. The URL for the new weblog is http://wine.lucente.org.
Jus Sanguinis: This is a chronicle of my quest for dual citizenship with Italy. Under Italian law, I have been a citizen since birth. However, because I was born in the United States, I have to go through the process of having my Italian citizenship registered with the proper authorities. This will also be a low traffic Web site as I will only be updating it as things happen in this long process. The name comes from the philosophy that permits this citizenship and is Latin for "Right of Blood" This weblog will probably have little interest outside myself or other Italian-Americans interested in having their dual citizenship recognized. Still, if you are interested, the URL is http://italian.lucente.org.
Links to the two new Web sites can be found in the right sidemenu on this page. Your login here will be valid there, as well.

Sorry for the absence
Sorry for the absence. The new baby had a medical issue and we were not allowed to bring her home until this weekend. She is doing well, now.
Also, during the weekend there was an explosion and fire at the data center where my web server is kept. No one was hurt, but power was lost for about 48 hours making my Web site inaccessible. I am sure the was frustrating for anyone trying to access the blog.
Hello world! It's a girl

Stimulus payment
Got my stimulus payment on Friday. It's already gone. I am not sure the economy is any more stimulated. Maybe we should get another

Unique grave marker

I love cemeteries and grave markers. Last autumn spotted this one at St. Matthew Cemetery on Hume Road in Shawnee Township. I don't know the history or significance of the log cabin but it is certainly one of the most unique grave markers I have seen.
If you know the story of this marker, please share.
