Time marches on.. So, here's the update since forever ago. The most important thing that's happened in my life is I asked Danielle, my girlfriend, to marry me on November 11th.

The greatest part was everyone but Danielle knew that I was planning on asking her when did. I gave her my Great Grandmother's ring that she wore all her life. I had it polished and reset. The great thing was that Danielle had been praying all her life that her engagement ring would be: 1. An antique 2. A family heirloom 3. Set with a saphire Crazy, huh? More later
