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?

Thanksgiving 2008

I remember past Thanksgivings with snow, but no such thing this year. Things have been mild so far. Global warming? Nah, I don’t think so. I should have taken photos of the feast Becky prepared for the two of us today. Actually, she started cooking last night. At our empty nest, Thanksgivings just aren’t the same as they used to be; but you wouldn’t know it from all the food and wonderful smells emanating from Becky’s kitchen. She’s incredible. I’m stuffed.

Since my last post about autumn here in Kansas we’ve had more of the same. It turned out to be a fairly colorful fall thanks, I surmise, to an appropriate combination of temperature and moisture during the summer. So, I uploaded more pics to the Fall Colors 2008 Gallery on Flickr, including the two shown here.
