Immediately after starting this Blog so many obvious hot topics arose that I was overwhelmed with ideas and inevitable rants that I chose to stop breathe and wait. Honestly it's pretty hard to pass up Anne Coulter, Steven Harper and the anti American nonsense, the Pope and Catholic Church in general, US health care, Sarah Palin et al. But I may take a short shot at all of them at the end of this piece. Right now I have to finish what I have started regarding my lovely Family.
I was so intent at the outset to chronicle my family and self that I regrettably was far too insular. In so doing I neglected to list the other very special (extended) members of my family. These include: Joe's partner, Amy Gow a super Mom, who not only is (granddaughter Zoey's Mom) but also a super Doula and the mother of two other beautiful children. They are; 10 yr old Emily (or big Emily as Kelly's Emily calls her) Amy's eldest child and 7 year old Zach the only boy in the crowd of grand kids.
Son in law Alan Yaverbaum, a mad Irishman, jack of all trades, Kelly's hubby and father of grandkids Emily and Abai.
Sadie Beaton, Peter's significant other, lover of all things in the sea, (possibly part mermaid) and mother of Frankie, Pete and Sadie's dog.
I wanted particularly to mention these folks because as far as I am concerned they are all part of the Lane family (poor souls) . I am proud of them all and want them to know so.
About Me
- The Gene Lane
- I am a happily married man to Susan for 38 years, the proud father of 4 children; Joe, Kelly, Peter and David and 3 and 1/2 grandchildren Emily, Abai, Zoey and one yet to be born and named. I care first and foremost about family, all else pales by comparison. I have worked hard at various jobs for 42 years, never got rich, famous or a "career" per se, but have managed to support (with Sue's help) a family of six with, I believe relative success. I care passionately about people, particularly the underdog, am very opinionated, love to write and debate (or as some would say argue), like to sing, dance read, have fun play, especially with my kids and grandkids, and i hope to use this site to express myself in words and occasionally photographs. Not really concerned if anyone reads this but am open to everyone and anyone doing so and expressing themselves too.
