Welcome to Our Web Page
When this web page began more than twenty-five years ago, it described most of the activities of our whole family. Now that most of our children have flown the coop, it is mostly about what Ann and I (Dave) have been up to. I update it most weekends. We save all the messages over the past year in an Archive along with links to what we were doing ten and twenty years ago.
You can click on the pictures above to get a bit more information about each of us.

On Oakland Rd. near Indian Point last week
Not a lot has happened since I last updated this page a few days ago. No new photos have been taken so I've used another one from my bike excursions last weekend.
I spent yesterday and Friday playing in a bridge tournament at Mount Saint Vincent University with my friend Layton. There were four sessions in all, one in the morning and one in the afternoon on each day. The field is split into sections, A, B and C, according to the number of masterpoints the partnership has. We are always in C since I have only about 30 masterpoints, not having played in enough tournaments or club games to accumulate a lot. To put that in perspective, there is a US player who has over 100,000. When the scores come out, you can see how you did compared with the whole field, with only sections B and C, or C alone. We did very well in the first session coming in third overall and first when compared with sections B and C. In the second session I made quite a few stupid mistakes and we did not do nearly so well. Yesterday we did fairly well but not as well as in the first session. Overall I picked up 6.19 more masterpoints; if I can keep up this pace playing in two tournaments a year it will only take me 8075 years to get to 100,000.
We have had a couple of dustings of snow so far but nothing serious yet. We had the snow tires put on this week which always makes us feel a little relieved that we won't get caught without them in an unexpected blizzard.
