Latest CRCyc News

Mar 21, 2025


I'm not sure if many people actually check the homepage, since most of the site's hits come from Google Image searches. Still, it's been too many months since I updated the website. Why? Well...

Last year, our son got married. Yay! So we bought a new smaller house, which took 4 months to refurbish.

Then I started teaching high school English at a great Christian school, which has been sucking up nearly all my free time creating lesson plans. Being in my early 60's now, I really wanted to get back into Christian ministry. It's been tough but rewarding.

This evening, I finally pulled out my 17" laptop, nicknamed The Beast, and started messing around with Paintshop Pro and the CRCyc. I added a few photos and did some info updating, getting my toes wet. More will be coming!

A big thank you to all the contributors and folks who have visited the CRCyc over the past 27 years!

If you have any comments about the CRCyc or would like to contribute photos, drop me a quick email.
