Antietam
September 17, 2012, about 16 months from now, is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam. This is an important date in the annals of the Simpson family as it is the day JR Simpson, our great grandfather, got gutshot and nearly perished save for the grace of gawd and, as legend as it, his sister Annie.
I intend to take my small crew to the battlefield on or more probably around this date to commemorate the happening. I am also considering organizing a Simpson family reunion to coincide with the event. In anticipation of this I am wondering if anyone out there in blog land would be interested in participating. I know there are only a handful who read (or at least comment) on this blog but I'd like to know how you feel about this.
Note* Most motel rooms with 25 miles of Sharpsburg, MD are already booked for the 150th anniversary.

Gitaway
What with all the stress of three kids and a marriage now nearly 8 years old, I convinced the wife that it would be good for our relationship if I spent a few days in a tranquil tropical locale with a sweet young hottie. Much to my amazement, she was cool with the idea. Even asked me when I got home if I had a good time.
Some wife!
