Jesus, it's pathetic how long it's been since I've updated this section.
Truth be told, I've been blogging, which is why there's no news here on me.
Moreover, I have no life, so there's nothing to even write about. Yes, I
finally graduated, and life is back to normal, thank god. Except for work,
a brief business trip to Houston, a little skiing and some short trips,
and Amee and Phil's wedding, life has been pretty routine. Except for this:
We're getting married!!!
(Thanks for breaking the ice, Amee and Phil! ;) ) (2/24/03)
