Here is a picture of my granddaughter Helen - she's four and half months old and cuter than a button!!!

I had a very busy weekend - worked as an instrutor for an advanced tactics class and also took the test for Rangemaser and passed (big WOOHOO)!!! Now the work really begins as I have to become very familiar with the entire curriculum; oh well, it's something to do.

The title of this blog "The Three Secrets" came about because one of my post-retirement jobs is that of a firearms instructor and the three secrets are a fundamental part of my curriculum. These three secrets are "Sight Alignment", "Sight Picture", and "Trigger Control" - and if you don't think they really are secrets, then just observe the performance of almost any shooters at your local gun range. I am currently working to progress from the category of Instructor to that of Range Master and I hope to be there by April of this year - wish me luck! Here is a picture of me "in action":

Today is the day I started my Blog - so much to learn, but I am fortunate in that my daughter-in-law is here to help me learn the ropes. My intention is to develop this blog to serve as a record of activities in several areas of interest to me: family, work, and hobbies. Hey, it can only get better as I gain experience!
