November 30, 2010 - Christmas Pictures

Today my family went to the beach to take our Christmas pictures. Our little one loved it. We hope that everyone likes our pictures this year... they certainly took a lot of preparation... but it was worth it.

I have lost some weight recently. I now weigh about what I did when my wife and I were married. It feels good. I have been eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and I have been jogging. That seems to help a lot. On Thanksgiving, I participated in my first 5k run. The Turkey Trot in Clearwater, FL. I am hoping to participate in other events like that in the future. By next year, I want to be able to run the 10k.

I am still going to donate 50% of any royalty check which I receive in 2010 to Ronald McDonald House Charities in Tampa, and I have about one month to decide which charity to donate to for 2011. Please remind your local library, school, or church that they can purchase my books on Amazon.com and www.lulu.com.

Thank you for following my blog.

Sincerely,

June 8, 2010 - Life In General

Baby is almost a year old now. She is so much fun.

Chick-fil-A just launched the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. If you like spicy food, you should probably give it a try.

This is the week of the Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL. This is the second year which I will not be attending. (Last year because baby was born and this year because I am going to my sister's graduation... both events very worthwhile.)Hopefully I will be able to go back next year.

My jumpdrive crashed, but I think I was able to salvage most of the information... I guess only time will tell if I was able to salvage everything.

I should have another book of poetry out soon through www.lulu.com
Also, I'd Choose A Fish is now available through Amazon.com

Please keep checking back and remember that 50% of my royalty checks for 2010 will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tampa.

March 30, 2010 - Vacation

We had a great trip to Pennsylvania. We did not get to visit as many historic places as we wanted to on our visit, but we did get to visit with a lot of family. On the last day of our trip, we got to go to Washington, D.C. The history there made up for not being able to visit historic landmarks in Pennsylvania like we wanted to.

We got there around noon and found out that all of the tickets to see the Washington Monument were gone sometime between nine o'clock and eleven o'clock in the morning. Perhaps we will be able to see it next time we visit.

All of the monuments are beautiful, as are the buildings surrounding the National Mall.

Since we've been back, life has been busy. I have been taking another class and working over fourty hours per week whenever possible. Also, Baby is a little over nine months old and is now crawling.

Also, You can now become a fan on Facebook. Just search for David H. Troyer and my fanpage should be on the list.

Please continue to check back for updates.

Sincerely,

P.S. Please spread the word that 50% of my 2010 author royalties will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House!

March 6, 2010 - Chick-fil-A Event

Today, I ran the safety event at Chick-fil-A. Things went really well and we had a great turn out. The police department and the fire department were both there. The Police department had a segway, a smart car, and an ATV on display. The fire department brought a truck out for us. Thank you to everyone who helped to make the event a success!

Baby is almost 9 months old now. She is a lot of fun. She wore a cow costume to the event.

Please keep checking back for updates.

January 22, 2010 - My fourth class through Liberty University

I have just started my fourth class through Liberty University. The History of Christianity II. I have the same instructor as I had in part I, so I am really looking forward to a great class.

I am still waiting to hear some news about that news article. I will let you know if or when it is published.

For those of you who don't know yet, I am donating 50% of my author royalties to the Ronald McDonald House in 2010.

Also, Baby is a little more than seven months old now. She is adorable.

I am working on another poetry book, but it may be a little while before I get it published because between school, work, family, and church, there is hardly any time left for recreation or for writing.

January 1, 2010 - Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone!

Today we celebrated with a nice dinner, my wife prepared, of ham and blackeye peas, mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. I have grown up in Tampa Bay where it is tradition to eat ham and blackeye peas on New Years Day for good luck the rest of the year. My wife, grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country where it is tradition to eat pork and sauerkraut on New Years Day. Combining the two traditions makes for a very tasty meal.

Also, today my baby surprised us with her first tooth! We didn't really suspect that any were that close to the surface although she has enjoyed chewing on things in the past months. Today, she started sucking on my finger and I felt the jagged little tooth on the bottom. My wife and I were very excited and baby grinned from ear to ear to see us so happy.

As many of you know, This year, I am donating 50% of my book royalties to charity.
I would love for as many people as possible to help me to make this happen.
Here's how...

Step 1: Buy my books. (Search by name or title at www.lulu.com, www.publishamerica.com, or Amazon.com.


The charity I will be donating to this year is the Ronald McDonald House.

I wish you a very Happy New Year!
