Mystery Relatives

I recently sent the famly an invite to look at some picasaweb photos I’d uploaded, and the result was general confusion. The subjects in the photos were relatives on Becky’s side. Becky has two brothers, Mike and Jeff, and two sisters, Judy and Sherri. They all have kids. Mike’s kids are Jennifer and Eric. Eric is married and has at least one kid. Jeff’s kids are, um, well, I’ll have to ask Becky. Judy’s kids are, um, I’ll have to ask Becky about that, too. At least one of Judy’s kids has kids, and those were Joseph and Elsie who were in some of the uploaded photos. Sherri’s kids are Cassie and Katy and Katrina, I think. Since I can’t even remember all of them, it’s not surprising some other Chappells wouldn’t remember any of them at all.

Maybe I’ll update the Ancestry page with more of Becky’s side of the famly. I’m always a little hesitant, though, about putting genealogy info about living persons, especially kids, on the internet. On the other hand, sending the info around in email doesn’t really stick. Emails are either not saved, or else saved and forgotten. It’s a challenge.

Client’s New Website

I recently unleashed another website on the world: Black Star 231 Corp. This is a client, and actually is the second website I’ve done for him, the first being Pryor Oil Company. Jim Pryor is one of my longest standing clients; we go back to around 1984, and have seen a lot together. He’s also a good friend. The Black Star site isn’t actually finished yet, but we decided it was good enough to “launch”, and he needed to be able to refer people to it for business reasons. If anybody’s curious about how my law practice relates to the “real world”, you can see that world in these websites.

It’s 2009 Fer Cryin’ Out Loud

It’s incredible I haven’t written anything here since Thanksgiving! So much has happened since then. Of course, I became a grandpa on Halloween, with the birth of Isabelle Chappell. Then Becky went out to CA first of December to help out, I went out mid-December, and we came back Jan. 4, 2009. While in CA a lot of good visiting was done with the family, and I must’ve taken at least 500 pictures, none of which I’m posting here, being sensitive to everybody’s privacy concerns. Pictures have been shared on a private basis with notification by emails.

It snowed a couple or more inches last night and has continued snowing today, just stopping a little while ago. Maybe I’ll take a picture or two and add them here later. Usually, it snows on my birthday, which is not until Monday. I don’t think any more snow is predicted after this one.

In one of my blogs, don’t recall whether whether it was this one or my attorney blog or bandolero’s blog or harpshot’s blog, I mentioned the Safari browser for PC. Apple just released Safari Version 4 beta, which I’m using now. It is FAST! I might have to stay with it until Firefox catches up with similar technology to speed it up like this. Safari still doesn’t have a lot of the plug-ins I’ve come to rely on with Firefox for web designing and certain other esoteric endeavors.

So, Spring is just around the corner. Incredible, ain’t it?
