The bachelor party was a splendid good time, in case you were wondering, and yes, we caught tons and tons and tons of fish, almost enough for each of us to have one bite. This weekend is the wedding, so once again I’m a bit absent. However, I leave you with this: All my favorite [...]
What a collection of wonderful comments lately! Thanks, interneters! I have just sent the text I read recently out to my email list. Now I shall disappear for a few days on a fishing trip/bachelor party. Beware, fish! Have a great weekend.

I added a cool custom header but now my site has so much LIND on it it’s making even ME nauseous. Anyone love any of these themes? I like BlackBible but I’m not sure I want my webpage to be so dark. Will probably design my own look, but first, I’m off to see if [...]

All my previous brilliance safely and securely uploaded to my much advanced software. Keep your eyes open for lots of tweaks over the next week or so as I learn what I can do with my new electronic toys. And, coming soon: Vote for your favorite color scheme/background/design.
