I KnowI know I haven't posted anything here in quite some time. This is mainly due to my throwing all of my blogging energy to Shakesville for the time being. However, we are finally getting our act together in terms of wedding and honeymoon photos. So, stay tuned as I'll be getting them up on the photo site in the near future.In the meantime, please enjoy a nice photo I took this morning of Moon and Space Cowboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00262177042960402016noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469543.post-31988783232177034682007-05-01T11:19:00.001-04:002007-05-01T16:10:58.613-04:00The Lifehouse MethodThe Lifehouse Method is a website that creates an original piece of music for you based on your supplied input, like your voice, a picture, and sound.

I'm happy to say that today, April 24th, I've received the passport via Fedex.Upon examination of the original priority mail envelope, it's now blazingly clear what the problem was.

It's one thing if he simply disagrees with the scientific proof that global warming is underway, perhaps thinking that God will just take care of everything.
