Hey, I'll get those Vegas pictures for everybody real soon. I'd also like to congradulate my buddy Dan on getting that promotion. The red stapler is in the mail. On a somewhat related note, I'd like to share my fortune cookie message that I opened today. After putting off exersizing because I was tired, and then I was too warm to actually clean up so I asked Lisa to do it, and then I just laid there as we each pulled on one end of the cookie, I got the weirdest 'fortune' i'd ever recieved.
What the hell kind of (scarily accurate) fortune is that? Never before have I opened a fortune that starts off by telling me my faults. Next i'll open one that goes "Heres where you went wrong, Ian...." Thanks chinese restraunt. If I believed in fortunes and horoscopes i'd be pretty upset.

First post!

Hello. Let me be the first to welcome you here. Its safe, and you won't be eaten by a grue as long as you stay close and keep your lantern on. Whats that? You don't carry a lantern with you wherever you go? Well, I guess you can bask in my lantern light for now. But you really should get your own.

I just flew back from Vegas (and boy are my arms tired). It was a family reunion and a celebration of my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary, along with my grandpa's 87th birthday. I never realized how much family I had. It seems most everybody either lives in Las Vegas or Canada. It was awesome seeing everybody, and I might post a few pics as soon as we finish the slow process of getting all the digital and analog film into a somewhat central database. My mom still uses regular film, so she has to wait until they dust off the machine that still devlopes pictures.

I didn't have time to gamble. I really really wanted to, but there just wasn't enough time with all the other stuff. Next time, I swear. As a side thought, anybody who wants to go to Las Vegas with me please let me know. I'm planning a trip a few months out My sister is going too. I know Dan won't go, but Matt, Panch, Matt, and James, and anybody else on my small friend's list - i'm looking in your directions.
