A new week is under way and it looks like the remainder of the year is going to be interesting and busy, from a work perspective. I'll need to be keeping an eye on a few things.

I noticed just recently that the pages off my home page weren't working. It turns out that my ISP upgraded their PSP engine and the upgrade turned off a bunch of settings as a security measure. Fortunately I was able to modify the code in my main page builder and everything works again (or at least appears to!).

I had a pleasant weekend. Tim stayed over on Thursday night after a few drinks at the Local and then at the Midway; his last night of bachelorhood. Friday evening I delivered him to the Mary Gay House in Decatur, where John performed the ceremony marrying Tim and Kris. It was a very nice ceremony and the reception went over well, too. After the reception I ended up at the Local.

Saturday afternoon was spent at Tim and Kris' place with their families and the left over booze and food. Again, very pleasant. In the evening I watched Run Fat Boy Run with Liza. On Sunday, Lynne and I went to see Body of Lies, which I also enjoyed.

That's about it to report for now.
