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.
