<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">So it&#8217;s been a while since i&#8217;ve done a right normal blog post. It&#8217;s been a busy month here. And by busy I mean downright uneventful.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">For 3 weeks in March/Early April we had a Foster Greyhound staying with us until the group we work with could find him a proper home. It was fun, he was cute, and he very quickly won everyone&#8217;s heart he met. They say this was one of the fastest fostering&#8217;s within our group. Although we haven&#8217;t taken in another one yet. I think it is something we may consider.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">In early March we got the iPhone on Verizon since it was time to upgrade. Can I just say, I don&#8217;t know how I lived without it! I am happy to not have to carry around a phone and my old iPod Touch. </span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">One of my New Favorite Apps on the iPhone is Instagram. It is a picture blog for a lack of better description. You follow other people and see all the pictures they post, and they follow you to see all the pictures you post. It has a bunch of filters to give you that Artsy Fartsy feeling. If you have instagram and want to follow me my name is drummajorkev.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">If you have any favorite iPhone apps let me know in the comments.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">So April arrived which brought with it, Pollen and Birthday Month. We did family brunch early in the month, my younger brother had a Birthday BBQ and Bonfire at his house last week for his birthday. Then we had the Drum Corps awards dinner. Nothing too exciting there, I did get a trophy for missing only 1 parade.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">My Birthday is next week. We have tickets to see Matt Dusk next saturday as my birthday celebration since he happens to be in the state that night. I am looking forward to it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">So what&#8217;s next? Parade Season starts at the end of May so Parade posts will replace bowling posts since Bowling ends next week too.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">The best part of May is our week long vacation in Las Vegas with our bowling wives. Looking forward to that in a big way. I will be sure to blog about that. It will be our first time there so any suggestions on places to see and eat would be most welcome. I will also try to use Instagram to post more pictures while out and about.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Well it&#8217;s time to go get ready to head out for errands, haircuts, Costco, wherever else we may land.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;">Happy Easter and Happy Weekend.</span></p>
