POST NUMBER 100!!!!!

Yooooo! It's been a while since I've updated, and I apologize, but I don't think anyone was beating down the door, holding their breath and wishing that I'd go ahead and update. Seriously.

So, what's new? Well, first off, on Tuesday the new Arena for Kansas City was approved by voters!!! The final tally was close to 58% Yes - 42% No. This is such a huge thing for KC and now paves the way for us to get an NBA or NHL franchise. We're still a long way out though. Ground is supposed to be broken in the next 365 days with the doors opening some time in 2007. Congratulations KC, now, let's get the Royals downtown, too.

Today, my sister Meris comes into town to spend the weekend with me. We don't have any rigid plans yet, except that I hope to take her to a Royals game tomorrow afternoon with Aaron, Bev, and Aaron's brother Matt. Should be a great weekend.

Since returning from Seattle I haven't done much in terms of getting my photos online (for viewing or on Snapfish), nor have I given a full report on how the reunion was. I plan on getting that up soon, but in the meantime, I was going to help my cousin log on to Snapfish so that she could see pictures from a previous family reunion. When I attempted to log in, this is what I got (upper pic is of log in screen, lower is the message I received):

This makes no sense to me. Not one bit. If Snapfish has the logic to say, "if someone logs in, then show them this error message," why couldn't they just NOT allow people to log in because they KNOW their site is down for maintenance? It's a faux-pa on the web and that silliness is just lousy.

Anyway, that's all I got. Talk to you all later. Oh! One more thing. Remember how I said blogging is the next big thing on the web??? Check this funny (fake) article out, on The Onion.
