I like Gmail. It's definitely my favorite free webmail service, hands down. The folks at Google made an informational video showing exactly how my electronic mail is delivered...
So that's how it works...
Busted
Thanks to Johnny D. for the head's up...obviously my blog here is experiencing some technical difficulties. Something managed to get a little off with my css coding, so it'll need some fixin'. Bear with me, faithful readers! HA! Like I have any of those.
Anyway, I'll try and fix it when I get a little more time.
UPDATE (8/28): Well, I appear to have gotten things worked out. To be honest, I took the long way around, but got lucky in the end. Hopefully it'll stay put this time.
Danger: My (other) middle name
As some of you readers (assuming I have any) know, my wife and I are celebrating our 1st anniversary today. Huzzah! One year of marital bliss...I love her quite a bit. It's true.
As you may also know, the first anniversary is the "paper" anniversary. With this in mind, Chelsea gave me a copy of The Dangerous Book for Boys by Conn and Hal Iggulden. It's a pretty nifty publication that she heard about on Dr. Albert Mohler's radio program. It has also been featured in Time magazine, so Chase may know something of it.
The book is chock full of useful information and tips. It includes chapters titled "The Greatest Paper Airplane in the World," "Building a Treehouse," "Spies - Codes and Cyphers," "Girls," "The Ten Commandments," and several chapters of "Understanding Grammar." There's some pretty great stuff in there...I wish I had this book about 12 years ago. Though I have yet to peruse much of it, I've found some pretty valuable passages. Take, for example, this advice about girls:
If you see a girl in need of help -- unable to lift something, for example -- do not taunt her. Approach the object and greet her with a cheerful smile, while surreptitiously testing the weight of the object. If you find you can lift it, go ahead. If you can't, try sitting on it and engaging her in conversation.
When Babies Attack!
I had the privilege of seeing some good friends at the Miners game tonight. Thanks for being my friends...you know who you are.
Apparently, this little girl is on a big high-fivin' kick right now. I'm proud to say that I was on the receiving end of her first high-five-through-the-slot-in-a-box-office-window. It was pretty great.
During the game, our roving camera man got a great shot on the video board of Bekah on papa's lap. Attack of the 20-foot tall Bekah!
Thanks for all of your prayers.
Once upon a time...
...I had a blog. I'm pretty confident that this was it. The site accepted my user name and password, so I'll take that as confirmation. Maybe I'll start posting here more often as baseball season comes to a close. It's been an exhausting last few months, but I've had some great experiences. Hopefully I'll be able to utilize some of these experiences to get a job at some point. Hopefully that some point isn't far from this point.
Apple Inc. has found two more happy converts. We are enjoying our new Macbook. Incentive to blog more frequently? We'll see.
