What I Have Been Working on Lately?

Since my engagement things have been pretty busy, even without being employed. Note that I didn't say I wasn't working. I'm just not being paid for the work I do these days. At least, not yet. I hope this changes sometime soon. I put in applications every chance I get, even thought the idea of working for other people still doesn't feel right to me.

The work for the wedding (it's in 10 days now) has been keeping my days full. In fact, I put the finishing touches on our signature wedding drink yesterday. Unfortunately, the testing needed to figure out the correct recipe left the rest of my day pretty blurry. I think I put in the dog door that needed to be done, and I forgot to take and send the pictures to Dad of the house. You win some and you lose some I guess.

I've been trying to stay on top of my web projects, but I seem to be just keeping my head above water in that realm. One of my new projects is targeted to my furniture choices - which was brought about by my wedding plans and the furniture that we looked at to put in our home. Of course, with all that is going on these days, I haven't been able to add anything more than a welcome post to that site. But in coming months I will be fleshing (kind of a gross sounding word huh?) it out further, and make it a much better site.

I've also recently started playing around with hubpages, and found a few poker related hubs that I thought merited reading. If you are interested in checking them out here are the links: Success and Poker - Poker Life Lessons - Poker Plays - Poker Position They are good beginner articles on Poker and life and how the two complement each other.

Well, until I get back to the keyboard, I hope all is well with you. I may be married by the next time I get back to you.

Family History

Browsing around on the net turns up interesting things from time to time. Sometimes you find old friends. If you search for yourself the results can be rather eye opening. You never know what you might find. I know that I found my Internet footprint was much larger than I thought, hoped, or wished it would be.

Sometimes you find little gems. I found a paper my late grandfather co-authored back in 1960. With all the accomplishments he had through his lifetime it is a little disappointing that there isn't more about him floating around the net. This is something I hope to rectify in the future when life allows. So until then you can check out a small bit of his work here: Elliott S. Clifton

On a completely unrelated note there is a hubpage I found interesting for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is that it is about poker.

Enjoy!
