Updates:

from Craig Breighner: (1)   My eldest son, Chris, and his [relatively] new bride Saba have purchased a house in Allen, TX, a suburb of Dallas.  He is an accountant at Federal Express in  Dallas and she is the manager of an "On the Border" restaurant near their home.

(2)   Second son Ryan is a post-doctoral fellow at the Mayo Clinic and, although an authority on non-impact ACL injuries, has moved from knees to hands and is involved in some computer modelling of muscular-skeletal-nerve function involved in wrist rotation, etc.

(3)   Third son Mike has taken a job (as of Feburary) with Outcast Media, in Chicago, where he is a media sales coordinator.  He lives about to blocks from Wrigley Field and often walks to ball games and other nearby attractions.  Obviously, he's also very near the lake, where he enjoys using the kayak he previously purchased to paddle on Town Lake, in Austin.  He was the ONE (of 30 applicants) to get this job, but is really interested in copy writing and, as a creative advertising major who graduated in December with high honors, is probably feeling somewhat underemployed, if not underpaid, at the moment.  I expect he might be putting out some feelers around the six month mark.  Chicago is just too brisk a job market in advertising for good people to let the grass grow under their feet, you know?
