Ken & Robin are doing well. Time has healed wounds, careers are getting back on track, and we still enjoy each other's company after nearly 20 years (!)
Logical Images is doing better than ever and we are excited about our two most recent clients; the New York City Department of Health and the U.S. Army. These two clients combined will have 200 installations of our software so it means quite a bit of travel for Ken but it comes with the territory. And since two of the Army installation sites incldue Puerto Rico and Hawaii, it's not all bad.
Robin continues to work at Maddy's but hard times and poor financial managment have apparently doomed this establishment. She has been told not to expect to be working there after the new year. But she has some irons in the fire and is trying to view this as a new opportunity, not a lost job.
We're also looking forward to the Holidays; Thanksgiving at Mom & Dad's, Christmas Eve at Pat & Bob's are always the best way to cap a year. When not shopping, cleaning, repairing, and being parents we both enjoy working out at the gym, relaxing in the hot tub in the greenhouse, seeing movies, reading, and spending time together.
Calli has really come into her own this year and blossomed into quite the little lady. She has done very well in 3rd grade and was recently invited to the enrichment program at Cobbles Elementary School.
She was recently rewarded with a gift as a result of her hard work this year. Since watching Stuart Little last Winter, Calli has always wanted a pet mouse. Well, this month she got her wish. She is not the proud owner of two mice named Gary and George. They live in her room in a very nice little habitat where they happily scamper around through their wooden house, tunnel, and exercise wheel. They are very cute, tame, and enjoy being held by their proud owner.
Calli is also very excited for the holidays and can't wait to see her grandparents. Calli can be reached at calli@boyersonline.com
Paul has had a major breakthrough this year. He has always suffered from ADD. But the various presription medications he has tried have either been ineffective or caused serious side effects. This Fall his physician suggested a new one called Stratera. It has worked wonders. His grades have skyrocketed. His teacher can't get over the difference in the quality of his work and hos increased attention span. His grades, increased self esteem and self confidence have also opened up new social circles for him. As Paul says, "My life is as good as it's ever been."
Paul is very excited for the Holidays. He loves family time and eagerly awaits Mom & Dad's return from Florida for Thanksgiving. And, of course, what 10 year-old isn't excited about Christmas? His spare time is spent reading, playing with Phelma (his pet tarantula), playing video games, watching wrestling, and playing with his younger sister.

Family News:
Meg has made Honor Roll in her first semester as a Freshman at Penfield High School. She has had to work a bit harder than normal to obtain the grades she expects of herself, but has adapted quite well to the chaos called high school. We are very proud of her.
She is eagerly awaiting the retuen of her prized violin. The summer humidity took it's tool on her 100 year-old instrument and a crack in the body put a damper on her orchestra efforts this Fall. But thanks to the resourcefulness of her grandmother, the violin has been repaired and returned to it's former glory.
She is also eager to turn 15! Her birthday is December 20th. Also, Meg now has a new email address. The amount of spam she was getting prompted her to ask me for a new address to escape the offers she was getting to enhance her manhood. Her new address is meggerz@rochester.rr.com
