The
big news of late is that I got married!
Yes, we had to go up to Vancouver, British Columbia to do so, because
the U.S. is unfortunately too backward about these things. We did
it on Canada Day (July 1). The official
album. |

Bought
new car.
I
had the '88 Mercury Tracer for 13 years and I sadly bid goodbye
to it on 12/27/01. It was my first set of wheels. I now drive
a spiffy 2002 Ford Focus ZTW wagon.

It's
hard to think of anything more horrifying than what happened in
NYC and DC on September 11, 2001.
Most of my mother's side of the family is in NYC. Countless precious
lives, along with an historic landmark have been lost. I
took this picture of the WTC with my Palm on July 11, 2001, while
on a business trip. They weren't the best quality and I almost deleted
them at the time. Here are more pix.

Why do I have
weird health problems? I don't ever seem to get the cold
or flu, just a variety of freakish things happen to me. Read how
a simple broken finger turns into complications and 2 surgeries.

Sometimes
when I have a really bad day, I remember that it could be a lot
worse...
| In
Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, the Curse of the Babe rose
up and Bill Buckner booted
a ground ball to first with 2 outs in the 9th and 2 out.
The Red Sox lost. Poor Buckner had to endure not only defeat
but jokes like this:
Q.
What
do Bill Buckner and Michael Jackson have in common?
A. They both wear one glove for no apparent reason.
