We have made a number of trips in Arizona and Utah visiting Anasazi ruins. Hard trips when the temperatures hit 100 degrees and you have to carry in all the water you will need for several days. A large part of the allure is the possibility of seeing 1000 year old art or artifacts not seen by anyone since they were abandoned. |

Toddlers rule! At least this one does. This is our daughter, Maddux Lynn, center of the universe. One thing we did with her, that I recommend to others, is we taught her to sign. Infants understand a lot before they are able to verbally communicate. The inability to communicate is believed to be a major source of frustration for them, but they can learn to express their needs by signing starting at about 9 months old. This does not delay their verbal progress, indeed it accelerates it, and in one study appeared to add about 7 points to their IQ. We taught Maddux signs for milk, water, help ,more, down, up, hungry, please, bath, and pain. Once they know the pain sign they do it and point to the site of the pain. This was very helpful during a series of ear infections and during teething. |
| I am particularly interested in Civil War history. I have been working for a number of years on a book about the 43rd Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment and developed a Web site as a focal point for research about that unit. |  |

This is a painting I did some years ago in the photorealistic style. I continue to have an interest in art but have been doing more photography than painting. |
