    As some of you may remember, back in September 2003, my sister lost her baby a month before he was due. Well, this morning at 3:23PST, she gave birth to a still unnamed huge baby boy!! Sister and nephew are healthy. The only problem is figuring out how fast I can get out to beautiful Santa Cruz, CA, which as only been made more beautiful by its newest resident.

    Also, my fiancee' got another job with a seemingly wonderful company. And it looks like I'm getting a job with an energy company helping to get its legal records department in order. This job will send me to London once a year for the Board of Directors meeting! With this and the continuing success of Swirve.com, we should be out of debt, have a house, and take that wonderful honeymoon we've been dreaming about.

    And, my other sister is closing on a beautiful new house today in Tyler. And we got Mike James.

    Great day overall for the Gifford clan. :D

    You better teach that kid to be a rockets fan or you're gonna let down the entire BBS.

    Congratulations to your sis!

    Oh, it's on. I have two other nephews who really have shown no interest in sports. One of my biggest failures to date. :)

    Time to thank the Bush Administration for getting the economy back on track! Jobs are plentiful right now! Everybody's hiring!

    Yes it is! I will pass on the wishes.

    Not even bigtexxx trying to make this political can bring me down today. Trading for Moochie on the other hand...

    Congrats, dude!

    I was sitting here smiling at the good news for yet another internet stranger, until I ready the Moochie line. I immediately moved to the GARM forum...ugh.

    But no changing the subject. WOOHOO!
