Launch blog for the new site. (crash of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin champagne on the bow of the StoneLinq yacht!)

Hey! Stan.

We're heeeeeeere! Blog site....official...commencing this Friday, the 11th of March of 2005.

Hope you get "hooked" to it. It's a lot of fun. It will improve your typing skills immensely. Mavis won't have it over on us!

Enjoyed talking to you on the cell today. Danny sounded good on the phone earlier. Sounds like your brood is tracking along just fine. Mine too.

Work at Bern's tonight was moderately busy. No big wines or anything. I did have a table of six men, one of which is a player for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was a black fellow who had to be back in the hotel by 11:00. Seems he has a curfew to abide by. All the guys bought humongous steaks! Porterhouses, T-bones, Chateaubriand, and all the fixings. A couple of guys had cocktails, like Bourbon and coke, and a Ketel One Martini. Two had huge bowls of garlic mashed potatoes. At the end, they didn't want to go up to the dessert room, so they ordered three slices of tall German Chocolate Cake with a warm Valrhona chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream scoops.

Melody reminded me of our June travel opportunities. Seems we'll maybe travel up your neck of the woods, or at least up to the Myrtle Beach area. Did you talk about this already?

Keep up the good work at work. Hugs and kisses to everyone. May the Lord bless you and make His presence known.

In His service.
