iWeb & GoDaddy not a bad combination

So I have figured out iWeb and now have dedicated a little time into pulling together a basic informational wedding site (www.sutterwedding.com) for friends and family regarding the wedding. Feel free to check it out. Let me know if there is anything else that would be helpful to add.

Ironic?

So I was a little shocked and yet happy when I opened my mail today. I had a letter from Blue Mountain, now let me pause here to remind you at this point this is the same local ski place that was the scene of the famous wrist "sprain" that turned into a break requiring 9 screws, a pin and 2 titanium plates. Which the latest thinking from the Doctors is I will set off the metal detectors for sure with this amount of hardware.

Guess I had better make sure I heal up this summer so I am ready to hit the slopes regularly next year (wrist guard equipped). At a $595 value this is probably the coolest thing I have ever won. Now I just need to be sure not to lose the letter before November.

Scars and a New Computer

So I am using my new MacBook Pro (drool I know it is REALLY cool) to take easy pics of my scars on my arm. Now that the incisions have mostly healed I wanted to share the surgical aftermath. Take a look

So more about the new computer, I love this thing. It is so quick with big picture files. And I am going to the Apple store tomorrow to sign up for Pro support. Essentially for $100 you can schedule a 1hr 1-1 training session with an Apple Genius every week for a year, up to 52 hrs of help for $100. They will teach you anything you want, I already have a whole list of all the things I want to get done. I will have to keep everyone updated if it is worthwhile.

Check out my bionic metal arm

So I got my stitches out today and the Dr. was great, he was filling in for Mark Rekant my surgeon, who while he is a great surgeon, is not the most patient or easy going guy. The stitches did not hurt at all coming out and he even printed out a copy of the fluoroscope (low radiation x-ray) for me to have. As you can see below I have some serious metal in my arm now. He did not think it would set off the detectors at the airport, but there is always the chance. And the doc suggested I come up with a better story than "I was snowboarding" for the airport. Anyway, despite Kristin's request I did not want to post pics of my two incisions and the 14 stitches, it was pretty gross. But once the incisions heal a little more I will post them.

Primary Today - Vote Ohio

To all 3 of my devoted readers in Ohio, I hope that you are getting out to the polls today to vote. To think that Ohio will play a role in the presidential election is exciting. And who knows maybe I will even get a chance here in PA to vote. Never would have guessed that back in January. Means I would have to change my status by March 24th, unlike Ohio in PA we have to be registered with a party to be able to vote in the primary.

I am sure everyone will be tuned in with baited breath tonight with your favorite news channel to catch the results.
