So perhaps you are wondering what’s up with my website design (who am I kidding… you’re not). The header image is a silhouette of the dock and gazebo at my parent’s house in Mississippi. The area was a major casualty of Hurricane Katrina. The dock and part of the gazebo actually faired pretty well, but the house was fairly destroyed. My parents sold the house a few months after the storm, so this is a sad but good memory.

I created a rough silhouette pretty much by hand. Looking back at the original image, I feel bad because it’s clearly not as good as the original. Maybe I should just crop the original image and use that.

This month has been incredibly busy. While I should have had at least one post for each of my events, right now I’m just happy to get this out.

For those who didn’t know, I started the month with a long weekend in Springfield, Missouri to see Brent get married. Just two weeks later, I journeyed to Dallas to see mostly the same people at Cary’s wedding. Both weddings were very nice and very different. Instead of traveling home, I flew directly to San Francisco (at 6am) to help my brother drive his cars to Nashville, TN. This week-long trip included an extended stay in Las Vegas and shorter visits to the Grand Canyon, a meteor crater, a cadillac farm, and other odd sites.

If there was one constant throughout this whole trip, it would probably be Bass Pro shops. We visited the original store in Springfield and the Dallas one. I then drove past one in Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, and Memphis. There’s even on in Nashville, but we didn’t go there. To be clear, I really don’t like this store. I love many outdoor things and it caters practically to none of these things.

I’m proud to say that I’ve updated my website design and switched from MovableType to WordPress. I’m hoping that it will be easier to maintain both now. I might add some of my previous pages back to the website, but I’m not entirely sure yet. A lot of my content was so old that it’s either wrong or useless.
