2005.12.13... Website-That-Makes-You-Think of the Day

I ran across this website in my travels.  I'm thinking of submitting a secret or three.  If you don't have time to create your own postcard, you can take the easy way out and write your secret in my comments area.  If I get a couple good secrets, I'll make a whole page about them.

Last night in Chicago a Boeing 737 slid off the runway at Midway Airport.  No one on the plane was severely injured, but the plane came to rest in the middle of a busy suburban intersection. The plane collided with vehicles.

2005.12.1...Traditional and Modern Anniversary Gifts

I've always been a romantic, knowing it's the thought that counts more than the gift, particularly when it's someone for whom you care deeply.  I decided before our first anniversary to honor the traditional anniversary gifts, starting with paper.

I created a table of Traditional and Modern Wedding Anniversary Gifts Ideas.  It offers a few ideas I've used, and a few I'm potentially using in the future.

June 28th is our ninth anniversary.  I'm starting already to find a unique gift that includes pottery.

2005.11.7... $100,000 Online Poker Tournament

I've been playing great poker, and decided this week to go for the big money.

I jumped on the World Series of Poker bandwagon last year, like millions of other people.  I've played a little all my life, but never for money, unless you include the giant jar of pennies at Grandma's house.

2005.11.2 ... Integrity Found, Honor Lost

My Sister-in-Law, Lori, has always held out for Mr. Right.  She thought she might have discovered him in a Pennsylvania State Police Officer named Danny.  They dated a handful of times.  Things were progressing slowly, but that seemed a perfectly comfortable pace for both of them.

He was one of those guys we wish we had more of on our police forces.  His integrity and sense of duty attracted him to a law enforcement career, but the feeling of power some feel in uniform while carrying a sidearm hadn't corrupted those values.  He was the "Marrying Kind" according to Lori.

SunFyre has a new look.  My web design skills are gradually improving, and it's been nearly a year since the last major change. 

I moved in April, and haven't really touched SunFyre much since then.  For that I apologize.  But new house, new business, new support staff and a new life have kept me busy.  Now things are settling down, and I'm getting the urge again.
