Can you guess where we went immediately after this picture was taken?

We arrived in Denver safely yesterday, as did Jeri. Trollopy things were done, and although pictures were taken, I have not yet downloaded any pictures (I’ve got the netbook instead of the laptop, and installed Gimp only yesterday)

Today is the day of relaxation at the spa. Michael will nose in his have his nose in his laptop in the interim.

Addendum the First:
There will not be much posting here, but I have been Twittering, including using TwitPics.

Due to problems with the plane, we are spending the night in Charlotte instead of Anne’s house in Denver.

But, I’m on vacation, and Michael is with me, so it’s okay.

Thank you Anne!

For rejoining the ranks of the gainfully employed!

Now go out and architect stuff!

Yay Anne!

I got company on Sunday! Specifically, neurondoc, her spouse and offspring!

I made pizza, and received assistance in decorating the pizza; then we had oreos for dessert. Mmmm! (Yes, you should be jealous.)

Also, neurondoc’s daughter is apparently part bumblebee, and is very fond of pollen.

My assistant and I made pizza.

Me and neurondoc.

AND I even got LOOT! Yummy chocolate LOOT!

And just for Nathan…

Yup. She got me bacon chocolate! Now I shan’t be eating this as bacon isn’t in my dietary repertoire, but I am very tempted to save it just for Nathan!

This song has been running though my head all day. Perhaps you’ll take solace from it as I did.

Yesterday, a friend (and a member of the [perhaps metaphorical] group the UCF) suffered a unexpected and terrible loss.

Instead of hanging out here, please take a moment to tell those you love how much they mean to you.

Jeri is AWESOME!

I don’t know what I did to deserve such awesome friends, but I’m glad I did it!

Just not in English, not really.

Here:

<table border=”0″ padding=”5″>
<tr>
<td><strong>Book ID</strong></td>
<td><strong>Author</strong></td>
<td><strong>Title</strong></td>
<td><strong>Review</strong></td>
</tr>

<?php
// display results

$b = 1;
$r = 1;
WHILE ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
?>
<tr>
<td><input type=”text” name=”book_ID<?php echo “$r”; ?>” maxlength=”5″ size=”5″ value=”<?php echo ($row[‘book_ID’]); ?>” /></td>
<td><?php echo ($row[‘FirstName’]); ?> 
<?php echo ($row[‘LastName’]); ?>  </td>
<td><?php echo ($row[‘Title’]); ?> </td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”Review<?php echo “$r”; ?>” maxlength=”155″ size=”40″ value=”<?php echo ($row[‘Review’]); ?>” /></td>
</tr>
<?php
$r++;
}
?>
</table>

Is that a thing of beauty or what?

Even better, it works perfectly.

Now I just need to write the update queries for it.

Go stare at Janiece!

O.O

The lock of hair lay in the precise center of floor.

Below the neat cut, a blue ribbon tied with a bow held the lock together; the remainder of the lock curled upon itself into a loose circle, the uncut end wisping out.

It was the only thing in the room.

The wooden floors were bare. Even the dust had been swept up and taken away.

He knelt down on the floor and stared at the curl–the only thing remaining of their years together. But as soon as he reached out to touch the ribbon, it all disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Janiece is the most awesome human on the planet.

Thank you Janiece!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, I’ve got nine thousand words for you below the cut.

The name was nice for a short story, but not really appropriate now that the tale has evolved. Need to do something about that.
