I have 4 GMail invites available if someone wants to have one. It seems to be a great email service so far. Let me know in comments or email if you want one.
Edit: Google has opened things up a bit and I now have 50 invites in case anyone wants one or anyone they know wants one, or anyone in the world wants one.
Today was a busy day for us. We went to my grandfather’s 80th birthday party down in Northern Virginia for lunch. Then we came back a spent a little time at my parent’s place before going to dinner with some people. Then Scott, Leslie, Alicia and I went to Leslie’s place and played a couple of games of Trivial Pursuit 90’s Edition. It was fun and Alicia and I won both games, ending Scott’s winning streak. In random trivia, the PDA game piece has yet to lose a game.
In other news, our Monday night group has been having some email discussions about what we want to be doing together. There seems to be a big difference of opinion, so it should make for some interesting times.
And in some other news, my awesome little brother Mike found out that he has Lymes disease this week and is having some problems with his knee because of it. Please pray for him. And also pray for the Palmer family. Mark found out that he has cancer this week. They have been through a lot and this was very unexpected. Please pray for healing for both situations.
In case you see things that are missing or not working properly on the site I want to let you know that it is my fault. I was an idiot and deleted everything on simplepilgrimage.org by mistake. I have a copy of all the important stuff here, so if it’s missing it should be coming back. Besides that everyone’s blog templates are gone and I’ll be re-creating them when I get time. So if you want changes to your template. now would be a good time to ask.
Besides that, we have a new intro part of the site. Sorry for the constant changes that have happened there. It is finally something I am happy with though, so it should stick around. If you have quotes that you think should be up there feel free to suggest them to me.
We got about 7 inches of snow yesterday here in lovely mid-Maryland. It’s nothing compared to what they got up towards Boston, but it gave me a workout shoveling. Here is a picture I just took and put in our Snow from Jan2005 photo gallery. I’ll put more photos in that gallery as I take them.
I haven’t been blogging as regularly as I would like. I think this is partly because things have not been too exciting around here and also because I had myself on planet emergent and wasn’t listening to my own advice about posting while being on there. I’ve removed myself from it. I think am going to focus more on local and regional things instead of on global conversations. My blogroll has been updated accordingly.
This afternoon/evening we are going over to Matt and Sara’s place to watch the football games. We had a good time over there last time and I am looking forward to getting to know them better. I wish we could invite them over here but Sara is allergic to cats.
Brother Maynard came up with a good idea for a use of Planet Emergent. He posed a question and we are to answer it on our blogs and then he will post a wrapup in a few days. This was a really tough one for me. I love books. I love all books. But I have to rank them now, so here goes…
There are plenty of runner-ups so I won’t go into them. Check out my post recapping last year to gets links to a bunch of good ones I read last year.
