Becky and I had a fun time at the Celtics game tonight, even if they did get royally creamed by the Spurs. Before the game we had lunch with Becky’s folks at a nice waterfront tavern in Charlestown, then went to visit Gabi and Tom in Southie. We got to see the new cousins. 🙂
Finally, I did manage to get the pictures from Chris and Naomi’s wedding online, and you can see them here:
We just got back from Chris and Naomi’s wedding, and boy are our feet tired! There was much dancing to be had at their reception. Naturally, I had my camera with me, and I had planned to put all the photos online tonight after we got back. But we decided to just turn in, instead. The pictures will be online some time on Sunday… I might get a chance to upload them in the afternoon, in between church and the Celtics game we got last minute tickets to see. 🙂

I just found this page today:
NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts: Funded Studies
It is a list of the projects NASA is funding to develop new and interesting technologies. Some projects include the ‘Space Elevator’, ‘Programmable Plants’, and the ‘Hypersonic Airplane Space Tether Orbital Launch System’ — check it out! I don’t see ‘Warp Drive’ or ‘Matter-Energy Converter’ on there yet, but hopefully some day… 🙂
Today is the only day of the year whose name is also a command:
“March Forth!!!”
🙂
Oh yeah, and it’s Mardi Gras, too.
Today, March 3, 2003, marks the State of Ohio’s 200th Birthday. Happy Birthday!
I lived in Ohio during the formative years of my life – elementary school and high school – roughly from 1985 to 1997. In 1997 I came up to the Boston area to attend Gordon College, and I officially became a Massachusetts resident in January of 2002. My sister and her husband moved from Ohio to Kentucky, and currently reside there – so now it is just my parents living in Mount Vernon.
In honor of my old Ohio home, I’ll share some Ohio-related links here:
Ohio Bicentennial Celebration
Mount Vernon, Ohio Official Homepage
Mount Vernon City School District — in which my mother teaches, at Dan Emmett Elementary.
East Elementary School — where I spent 1st through 5th grades
Mount Vernon Middle School — where I would have spent 6th through 8th grades if I was several years younger. Instead, I spent that time at the old middle school, which you will not see at the aforementioned site
Mount Vernon High School — where I spent 9th through 12th grades
Mount Vernon Nazarene University — formerly Mount Vernon Nazarene College, my father is a music professor here
Kenyon College — small liberal arts college in Gambier, Ohio, through which I took some college classes during high school
The Ohio State University — Ohio’s largest university chain, and one of the nation’s largest. Home of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Ohio State Marching Band (TBDBITL)
Columbus City Center — cool shopping center in Columbus
Cedar Point — amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, the roller coaster capital of the world
Enjoy!
It’s March 3, 2003:
Happy 03/03/03! 🙂
We’ve been delinquent in getting this up… so now we bring it to you:
Becky wrote the first draft while she was in class the week of our wedding… I helped make some revisions, and what you see is the final version that we spoke to each other at our wedding.
I’m not sure if everyone who reads this knows exactly how wonderful my husband is. Everyday he does something that makes me feel beautiful and loved and special.
As you read two blogs ago, we went to see Russian Ark. It was a fantastic movie, but that’s not the point. The Brattle Theater is a small little theater where the term “stadium seating” just doesn’t apply. I discovered this first hand as a rather tall young man sat down infront of me effectively blocking 75% of the movie screen.
What did my wonderful husband do upon hearing that I couldn’t see? HE SWITCHED SEATS WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and didn’t even complain once. Can you believe that! What a kind, poilite, wonderful person!
ps. neither of us had a decent view anyway…and we missed many of the subtitles, but that’s life in a small theater.
