"years fly by!"

Work today wasn�t so bad. It was only 3 hours after all. So here I am back again.

I�m somewhat pleased with this diary redesign. There are some pages from the archive that don�t display well due to some added tables in entries when I had the purple layout from 2001 but it�s not so bad. I�ll leave it as it is. There is only one image on the basic diary page and its only 6K so it should load fast. Everything else is tables and colors. I like simple. My next thing to do is clean up the Rings/Links page since it takes too much time to load.

I don�t know what I was thinking when I started this diary back in �99. There were times I was very dedicated and wrote regularly if not daily and then there were times when I only wrote one entry every 6 months. I�ve been in the second phase lately. I guess it�s a cyclical thing.

As I was reviewing past entries, the one thing I�ve noticed is all the whining and complaining I did. Sure that�s what a diary is for and that�s what spewing is - but goodness, gracious, I did it so much! Doesn�t matter - I�ll probably keep doing it anyway.

I re-read the entry about the day I brought my cat Mickey home to live with us. Wow - that was 5 years ago! He was so cute back then! Now he�s grown and loves to watch me work on the computer. I�ll have to do something special for him to celebrate the 5th anniversary of his adoption.

I�ll think of something.
