Greg Jennings:  

ophomore. He plays lacrosse pretty much year round. He plays defense on the varsity team at Springboro High School. He also plays both indoor and outdoor "development" leagues when not in season. He is about 5'11" and 155 lbs. So, he weighs more as a sophomore than I did when I graduated...and none of his friends joke that he's built like a razor blade :). He is incredibly social, has tons of friends and is seldom without a girl friend. We are alike in a love of technical and computer "stuff". He is going great guns in an IT program at his school. There has been a halo effect on all his classes adn he has nothing less than a B. My daughter is now 15 and a freshman. She, thank God, looks like her mother. If she were taller, she would be model material. She is an attack wing on the SHS women's lacrosse team. She starts some of the time which, as a freshman and a first-year player, is a big deal. She scored TWO goals and had an assist in her most recent game. She's a year ahead in math and French and in "College Prep" in all her classes. She's a *monster* reader. This week she told me that someone has "asked her out" that she likes. That means they're, to use an old term, going steady. She has talked about being a veterinarian and a dermatologist. I'll support whatever she wants to do other than depend on a guy to provide for her. I've been remiss in not describing my lovely wife Donna. She is a 1980 graduate of Glenncliff HS after attending Saint Edwards Catholic in elementary and junior high. We met at MTSU...in a math lab that I was teaching. ;) We married in 1989. It has not always been a bed of roses...but, truthfully, it almost always has been. She tolerates me ;), we balance each others' shortcomings and she even likes my sarcastic sense of humor. We enjoy dog activites together, visiting friends, the kids' activities and cooking. I cook the main course on the grill 3 or 4 days a week till the snow piles up on the deck. She does the veggies and the kids now have cleanup duty. Donna supports IT at a hospital in Montgomery, AL. She kept the job when we moved to Ohio and is a 100% telecommuter. It's been huge for us. We can now follow my career anywhere she can get cell service and a high-speed internet connection. She really likes her job and it's going great. Donna and I are both big readers. She reads John Grishom and romances. I read Tom Clancy (not so much in the past few years), W.E.B. Griffin, John Ringo, David Drake, Jerry Pournelle and that ilk. That is, the military historical fiction and military science fiction genres. Greg J.
