I’m Getting Married!

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Yep. I took the plunge. Again.
Proposed on a secluded beach outside of Malibu last night.
More details to come… No date set, yet, but it could be as early as the end of summer.

A bit of the flu

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Just had a Vegas trip totally suck due to the flu. I could barely think yesterday. Now, at least, my mind is clear. Still very achy, though. Probably won’t hear much from me for a couple of days…
