Lee spent the month of September at home in Maine after finishing his 2nd Afghanistan tour.
He, Lindy and I had a great time at the Garland Days Home brew contest among other things. Lindy rode her horse in the Garland Days parade.
On Lee’s last night in Maine before heading back to Camp LeJeune we all had a great time at my place drinking beer and having an awesome gun shoot.
A few weeks earlier Lee purchased a Glock handgun and super cool assault rifle (civilian AR15) …you haven’t lived until you have fired off 20 rounds in 10 seconds with this baby
Along with Lindy’s 9mm and my 22 pistol and 22 magnum rifle we fired off almost 400 rounds (expensive but worth it)
Fun was had by all and Lee really enjoyed his last night at home.
Oh, and yes, my vegetable and fruit business is getting bigger and better each year!
Brian’s latest commercial is airing all over the place and you may even have already seen it. He’s the singer and composer and you can hear some familiar little voices in the background!
Check out our [Boston College]psych department website. They did a profile on my lab and the whole family is in the video. I think it turned out pretty well, except for the really awkward shot of me walking into the lab – how staged does that look??!!!
To see the full video go to the BC websiteA still from the video

Dear Family,
Amelia has accepted an athletic scholarship to attend and play volleyball for Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. Flagler is a small school on the Atlantic coast north of Daytona. Jeanne and I visited St. Augustine often during our Floridays. Amelia will be near her godparents, and our great friends, Denny and Dori Vandendriessche and their two kids Jake and Jesse. Flagler has been Amelia’s first choice for over a year. She attended Flagler volleyball camps for the last two summers. She expressed early interest to the Flagler coaches and team members. In turn, they noticed Amelia’s skill, leadership and grace on and off the court. Appropriately, the Flagler offer, the family discussion, and our subsequent acceptance all took place around a campfire in southern Colorado as we were visiting Colorado colleges. The family decision was made under a starry sky in the San Luis Valley with 270 degrees of 14,000 ft. peaks including The Great Sand Dunes as the foothills to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. We are very proud parents.
Jimmy and Jeanne
“Christopher Morgan-Riess, 1L, organizes and oversees a student-based campaign at the Law Center to repeal the death penalty in Maryland. This student advocacy group of 25 law students is currently circulating a petition to encourage Maryland State Senator Robert Zirkin, a Georgetown Law alum, to commit to an anti-death penalty position. Morgan-Riess sat down with our staff writer to answer discuss his efforts to end the practice of capital punishment.”
