What's New?

What's new?

Friday September 3, 1999

Hi! I hope everyone has (or had, depending on when you read this) a great Labor Day weekend. We're not planning on going anywhere but we'll enjoy the extra day off.

In case you've been wondering, Hurricane Dennis hasn't caused us any problems. It's unfortunately been stalled off the Outer Banks for quite some time and is causing problems there. The main problem is that those islands are really just huge piles of sand and therefore move quite a bit during sustained high speed winds. So due to the winds, they've got the one road that goes up and down the islands either covered in sand, water, or broken. If you're curious, ncstormtrack.com has good articles about any hurricanes near North Carolina.

Rachel's now taking dance lessons every Saturday and she loves them. It's pretty cute to see a bunch of three and four year olds in their pink tights and leotards. I have noticed that while all of the kids look cute, Rachel is probably 20% cuter than any of them. Just some unbiased reporting here.

I hope you've enjoyed the large number of new pictures that have appeared recently, but don't expect that to happen all the time. We've taken two pictures since we've returned from our trip, so it might take some time for a lot more pictures. I think there will be one more page of pictures sometime soon, but after that we might need to add some more artwork.

Finally, if you are ever planning on buying books on the web, please consider using my website. I'm now an Associate of Amazon.com which basically means that if you enter Amazon via my website (see the Books section) and buy your books on Amazon they give a little money to me. I'm going to give any money I get to a charitable fund, so I'm not doing this just to get rich off of my friends and family. I'm not opposed to that, mind you, but in this instance I'll be giving any money away. Details can be found in the Books section. For those of you specifically wishing to make me rich, please just send me an e-mail and we'll work out the details.
