OK so somewhat cooking w/gas now - got the RSS feeds of my own favourite blogs set up in the righthand column, am (eventually - not tonight) going to set up a slideshow of our latest doings as well, got the poll question @ bottom as mentioned. Will be looking to get more interesting and topical in coming posts, but figured I'd start w/the personal - a slideshow very dear to me b/c it represents probably the single most important day of my life (OK ... along w/being born ... and the day I MET Ari ... and the day Kyle was born ... and my grads ... all of 'em ... lol): June 18 2005. Enjoy this little snapshot of what my world looked like 2.5 years ago - and what it basically looks like today. :)
