Blue Tattoo Gig

My friend Derek (former music minister at Ferguson Christian Church) recently had a show with his band at a place called "The Chapel". I had really wanted to go, but couldn't make it. Be sure to check out the Recap on his blog.

One of my wife's old grade school through high school friends has a knitting blog. We got to visit with Susan and her family over Christmas when we went to Chicago. It was a lot of fun. A recent post she wrote is a great personal story with a happy ending of her reuniting some lost mittens with their owner. Check out her full site at Handknits by Susan.

What the Hell is a Rat Lifter!? This has yet to be determined. All that is known so far is that it is the title of an upcoming webcomic. Some of the principle characters are found on these pages.

Go to Rat Lifter.

Congratulations: J.D. and Megan Pohlman

I'd like to congratulate J.D. and Megan on their great wedding over this last weekend. I got my invitation a few months back and was surprised and delighted to learn that it was going to take place in Quincy, Illinois, which is apparently where Megan's family is from. This was a double treat for my family and I because Lisa and I used to live in Quincy as well and our oldest daughter was born there.

I want to have a full write-up and post a recap of the night, but it's too late at night right now and I'm too tired. For now, take a look at the following two links that helped point guests to the wedding.

• J.D. and Megan's Wedding Map - Wedding Mapper
• Free Personalized and Interactive Wedding Maps, Local Wedding Planning Tools - Wedding Mapper

I've linked to J.D.'s website before. In fact, his personal site was one of the first that I linked to, since his stuff was a major inspiration for having my own site.
