Today marks two years that I've been plugging away on this weblog. What began as a way to teach myself HTML while I was at Enron has turned into a passion, and the routine of writing has become a primary release for me.
Who could forget this classic?? Yes, things definitely have come a long way from the beginning:
Wednesday 9.5.01
Morning comes awfully early around here. It's 6.15am, and I'm already in the office. Damn, it's darkout there. I need coffee before someone gets hurt....
I found a couple pictures from the wedding last October, and I almost put them up on the site until I took a closer look. Both of us have lost a ton of weight in the past 11 months (almost 70 pounds between us- that's a Backstreet Boy). I can only speak for myself, but I'm not at all sure that I want to post a picture that makes me look like the Pillsbury Doughboy. I imagine Susan would feel much the same. Yikes....
Tuesday 9.4.01
After spending a relaxing weekend in Jamaica Beach on Galveston Island, we came home to find out that our home is falling apart. Well, not literally, but it sure felt that way. Welcome back to reality, eh?
The refrigerator and freezer stopped working while we were away, so we encountered a large pool of water on the kitchen floor. Most all of the food had been ruined; thank God I was able to salvage the frozen pizza (yeah, it wasn't a TOTAL disaster).
Apparently, it costs a lot of me to be me. At least it feels that way. It feels as if something is constantly in need of repair. Whether it's a thing, a person, or a pet, we always seems to be paying for something to be fixed. Who called this a disposable society, anyway??
I'm finally getting this thing to the point where it's something resembling presentable. I wonder if anyone will even both to look at it??
Monday 9.3.01
I spent a good part of the evening working on getting this website together. Most of the time I've devoted to wondering if I am only doing this for my own gratification. I decided that I probably am, and that it really doesn't matter what the reason is. So, onward and upward....
Many thanks to those of you have come along for the ride. It amazes me that I have regular readers all over the world, AND in my own backyard. It's been fun, and As long as it continues to be that way, I'll be here. In closing, I'll leave you with something Susan sent me awhile back:
THERE'S A LOT OF SADNESS IN THE WORLD
Right now, as you read this,
17 Million Americans are having SEX!
And you're on the computer!
