Let's Start Using this Thing

Diana posted the following as a "comment" off of my first post the other day. I thought that it deserved to be on the front page - the submitting/posting a bio is a great idea and I think they deserve to be showcased as posts, rather than being relegated to a "comment page" where people might not find them. Here's what she wrote:

This is so cool! I am looking forward to hearing from everyone. I think we should all post a little blurb about ourselves--you know, our "grown-up" lives.

I've been married for 8 years to Chuck Michel (CHS 1988). We have no kids (yet) but are hoping to adopt a newborn this fall or winter. It's very exciting for us. We live in Kokomo, Indiana. I'm an audiologist and Chuck is a psychotherapist. I play and officate sports in my spare time. I am currently trying my hand at women's professional football--I'm an offensive tackle (www.indianaspeed.org) --check out the website, there are a few pictures of me there, too. I'm also playing volleyball (court and sand), and I play and umpire slow pitch softball.

I still play cards with friends, and try to take their money whenever possible. Miss the old days. Loved all of you guys tons, and can't wait to get together.

Hey, Eric again. I sent out something from Blogger [the host of this site] to a number of you whose emails I have and trust, "inviting" you to become members of this site. Membership has its privileges - if you sign up [it's FREE and I don't think that they will spam you all over the place...] you will be able to make POSTS rather than just being able to make COMMENTS to posts. Diana, have you signed up as a member yet? Blogger seems to recognize you, but you aren't listed on my administrator's member page for this blog.

SIGN UP AND START POSTING, PEOPLE!
