My wife and I are spending these days under some serious tension. As you can tell from our son's blog, he is going to have an operation to have a good part of his colon and possibly one kidney removed (he suffers from metastatic colorectal cancer). This procedure is scheduled for Friday, July 6. We all hope for his full recovery, but it's going to be a lengthy slog. One thing we are proud of is the way he is dealing with his suffering - read his blog and you'll see what I mean. Here's his URL:

Astronomy
One of my hobbies is astronomy (not astrology), another is photography. I often combine the two.
Above is a picture of the transit of Mercury across the Sun on Nov.8, 2006. Click on the image for a larger view.

Hi, all
I'm Derek K. Miller's dad (penmachine.com) and have decided to join the world-wide "blogger community". I won't pretend that my writing will come close in its form to the erudition of Derek's; however, I'll endeavor to shape my submissions in a clear and concise manner. Derek has a degree in non-fiction writing, so I have an excuse if my writing does not reach his level.
Since this is the first time I'm using this software, you may find that I'll change the appearance of this blog as I become more familiar with the way it works.
So, "hello" to everyone.
