Happy Birthday To Me!
We arrived back from our vacation this past Monday.  Had a 'Magical' week at Disney World in Florida.  A great time was had by one and all.

Today is my 44th burfday. Is it some kinda good luck to have same digits?  11, 22, 33, 44, etc??  Could use some!  haha. I suppose this now means I can't say I am in my early 40's.  Early 40's would be 41-43.  Mid 40's would be 44-46.  Late 40's would be 47-49.  Right? Or how about anything < 45 is early 40's.  Can bypass the whole 'mid' deal, entirely.

No plans or nothing, just hanging out.

This old place doesn't get updated often...
Here's a recap...
  1. Sammi had her Junior Prom.
  2. Kids made it through another year of school.  Mike on to 8th grade and Sammi will be a Senior.
  3. Work is work, going through some downsizing, some of it deserved, some, not so much.
  4. The Great Northern Beer Festival is this Saturday in Eagle River, WI. Come look for the fat guy drinking loads of beer, that will be me.
  5. Speaking of beer, homebrewing has been going great! BP South and I have been splitting batches and making some kick butt beers!  The best stuff is some barleywine batches we have brewed!  Insane alcohol in this stuff.  A sippin beer with tons of hops.
  6. Getting ready to go on vacation at some point in the near future. First 'real' family vacation we have ever really had, not driving, flying. We've done weeks away, but none this big, will be fun. When we get back from that vacation I will be staying home for another week to recover.
  7. Mike is in Senior Little League this year, first year...  He's getting some playing time, but not a ton.  He's doing well and enjoying it. He'll miss three games when we go on vacation, but he's free to stay home.  NOT!
That's about it...  Not much to blog about. I do that in other ways and in other places these days. Social Networking, Web 2.0, all that happy horse poopy stuffs.  Not sure where to find me, ask, I may tell, but if you don't already know, you likely don't care or need to know. :)  The Interweb Tubes are an ever evolving deal... Stay caught up or get left behind, as they say, the choice is yours.  Not sure how much longer these pages will be here. The domain will always exist, but this web space may just die...

Later, peeps!

Happy New Year (Almost...)
A couple more hours to go here in the Midwest.  I don't think I am gonna make it...  Really tired!  I spent the night in a sleep study lab last night and I am wiped out.  About the one thing you can't do well in a sleep study lab, I found out, is sleep.

Sam is out on a babysitting gig...  Mike and Michelle were playing the Wii and I was being a vegetable.  Not sure if Mike and Michelle are gonna make it to midnight or not, but this cat is not.

Hope you all have a great and safe New Years!

Merry Christmas!
Last year we celebrated our family Christmas on December 23rd because Michelle worked Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  Not this year, she is off and we're looking forward to having a nice couple of days together.  We'll be heading down to the Waukesha and Milwaukee area on Friday and returning home Sunday night.  Driving down on back-to-back weekends kind of sucks, but what are you gonna do, it will be nice to catch up with family.  The interment for Michelle's Aunt will also be on Saturday.

I am looking forward to connecting with a cousin that I haven't seen in probably 30 years, he is 32!  He works in Oconomowoc and that just happens to be where we are staying this year.  We're planning to see him Friday.  Our parents stopped talking years ago...  Why?  No clue, probably something trivial.  Maybe someone didn't pick up a bar tab, haha.  Nonetheless, should not stand in the way of our relationship.  I look forward to meeting him, again!

I have a massive gout attack going on right now.  I've resorted to crutches as any pressure on the foot is terribly painful.  I'm taking my gout medication and it is messing with my guts.  Have to stay away from beer for a while, especially the yummy homebrew.  Bummer!  Wonder if I can mix the cherry juice with vodka?  Hmmm.  Cherry juice is supposed to be good for gout.

Anyway, from the Huml family to you and yours, have a very, very, Merry Christmas!!

In Memoriam - Fran Haylett
Michelle's Godmother and Aunt, Fran Haylett, passed away in the early morning hours this past Tuesday.  She was a really cool lady!  When Michelle and I first started dating, not everyone in the family really welcomed me in, why, I have no clue, she was just coming out of a shitty marriage and they probably liked him more than me, haha.  Well, Fran, or Auntie Franny as everyone called her, wasn't like that.  She was a very cool lady!  We're heading down to Waukesha for the funeral on Friday and coming back Saturday evening as Michelle is scheduled to work Sunday morning.

Happy Turkey Day!!
Gonna head over to BP South's shack today for eats and treats.  Michelle is working and will join us when she gets off of work.  I hope that everyone has a nice Thanksgiving and is surrounded by friends, family, and people who don't hate you!  I dunno how many years now I have been using this image, but what the hell, here it is again!

Happy Birthday Mikey!!
Mike turned 13 yesterday!  He will be having a little birthday party over in Rhinelander today at the bowling alley.  He has 3 or 4 friends attending and has a couple of cousins who will be up north visiting.  Bowling, pizza, and all the soda they can drink.  haha, I can invision a few upset stomachs later, haha.

Mike is 13 now and Sam is just a few months from turning 17...  Wow, seems like only yesterday that they were born!!

Happy Labor Day...
A hurricane is a blowin on shore.  I bottled my porter today, it tastes yummy!  My Mom celebrated a birthday last week, I called her on her birthday, but spaced out calling her back this weekend.  Bad son I am.  Michelle worked the holiday weekend and so the kids and I hung out.  Friggin hot outside, but the AC is nice, haha.  Supposed to get cold this week.  We already have some leaves turning color!  The kids go back to school tomorrow, hahahahaha.  Sam as a Junior and Mike into seventh grade.  Damn, they're getting old.  Heading off to Vegas in a couple weeks for VMWorld.  I attended last year in San Fran and this year it is in Vegas. 

Well, that's enough.  Y'all are caught up now!  haha 

Keep a tight one... (Thanks Jimmy)

Deep Thoughts

Too bad when I was a kid there wasn't a guy in our class that everybody called the "Cricket Boy", because I would have liked to stand up in class and tell everybody, "You can make fun of the Cricket Boy if you want to, but to me he's just like everybody else." Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town. Bye, Cricket Boy.

My Aunt tracked back the family tree on my Moms side of the family, she was able to go all the way back into the 1400's in Scotland to James Hamilton!!!  Pretty amazing, it has sparked an interest in me to get some genealogy software and start scouring the net and other resources so I can track back the Huml name. If you "name surfed" in here and you are a Huml, drop me a line!! I have setup a mailing list for other Humls, contact me and I will send you the information you need to sign up. I don't want to make it a "public" list on the net, keep away the SPAMMERS!!!

Web Site With A Good Cause

In March of 1999, a good friend of mine lost his 18 year old daughter in a van crash that killed 6 others and left 5 others very badly injured, some for life. Please check out his page, he is working to have legislation passed so that other young kids who fall victim to the lure of easy money will not have to die!! Dedicated Memorial You can e-mail him here.
