***NEWS***

Jan 4, 07,

How can it possibly be January already?? I tell you what, this has been a very busy month and a half for me. Christmas was good enough, but now the new year brings with it new challenges. Mainly, school.

But, fear not, I intend to keep this site up and updated a rolling. New content will be up by next monday, I have to get it set up right and am still learning this system vs the previous jenky one. Also, the book continues, we are deep into chapter 18 and have a meeting schedualed for tomorrow. Fun times, fun times.

My recreational time has slowed, but I suppose that's a good thing. Oh, and I am supposed to be getting married next year. It's no longer more than 2 years away... *blinks* Where the heck has all my time gone???

Anyways, Welcome to the site once again, and yes Virginia, the future will be updated.

Ps. Anyone know a good agent and or a good cure for Cotton Brain?

Nov 15, 06

New system is in and files are all loaded, so on
with the show.

Sorry you had to go a while without updates, but
it's been hectic here. Today finds me working
through chapter 16 that Peter sent me and trying
to plot out the ending of the book. Well, as far as
the overview I have it but the rest seems to be a
bit less than solid. Like hospital jello solid.

For those of you keeping track, we are looking at
about 20+ chapters for certain for this book.
Heck, more like 26+. I mean, 16 doesn't even get
them over to the right country for the ending.
Sitting at about 300 pages give or take atm, so
... well, it should be a solid piece of work when
we are done. Good for smashing large furry
spiders if reading's not your thing.

Kelley returned from her trip to California
Monday, so I spent most of today with her. She
had a great time out there but it's nice to have
her home.

Come this January, Peter and I will begin looking
for an agent. Kinda odd to think in those terms,
but it will have come to that point in our
processes... well, barring us having a totally
unproductive month and a half. Having
researched how that system works, I am glad we
are so confident in our work that we feel we can
take our time and hold out for the best we can
find, and know ahead what to expect in industry
standards.

P.S. Getting ready for school is odd indeed.

P.P.S. Hoping my college loans are good for a
copy of Dreamweaver or another high end do it
all web application/art program....

Sept. 12, 06

Well, meeting went well. My concerns are no longer a list of such, though it has become a "to do" list.

Over the next several days I will be reworking the Gods. They are too balanced for our current intention for the book.

The world is named! Muhahahaha! The world of Ayne will astound you.

The project is named! Muhahahhaa! The Path of the One will enlighten you!

The book is named! Muhahahahha!!  The Displaced Brotherhood will spin a tale of delight for all.

I will be getting a bit done to the awaiting serials soon. I hope. I might get a job here which might bog me down a bit.

Sept. 8, 06

Hmnph. Ok, so, my planned updates aren't there. Why? Because I began to have "thoughts" that might mean I am rewriting a ton of things. I am
getting together with Peter Monday and he's in for it. I have a list.

What I did do is add a new section. It's entitled Reviews. It's about places I find to eat that are not national brands and me talking them up or
down. I try to be fair while being honest, a tricky thing at times. Kelley is putting up with me as I document every little thing about our meals
and ask her questions incessantly. It is important to note, I encourage people to try things for themselves. Suggest things I should try... Granted
until Peter and I are on book signing tours I probably won't be doing much travel eating, but I promise to keep every suggestion until I get to
your neck of the woods.

Speaking of books... I should be writing.

September 5th,

So, what can I tell ya.

We have one new god link totally functional, and for your patience I even included a link to a backstory on him. As I get more caught up I might
add more on the other gods if people seem to like it. Which of course, they would have to FEEDBACK me to let me know. My views per day
show me someone's looking at the site, but not too many other things. Talk to me, encourage me, harass me... whatever!

I am still waiting for stress to reduce enough for me to download the trial version of some web software. Why can't they make it easy. After 5
pages of crap being told I have to go elsewhere to get a program to manage my download kinda makes it a bit annoying.

Kami had her kittens. 3am Saturday night/sunday morning. How do I know? She woke us up and had them on Kelley's lap. Literally. On the bed.
On Kelley's lap. 3 healthy kittens later it was 5:30 am and Kelley had to go to work. Say a prayer for her staying sane at her job please. stress
there is bad, and her schedule's a bit worse.

Steve Erwin "The Crocodile Hunter"'s death made me sad. I respected him a lot. He funneled all the money he made from TV and his movie into
his park, which he loved, as well as buying large sections of land to help maintain habitats for animals. He said, "Croc's Rock!" and I say, "No sir,
you did." He is survived by his wife and two children. It's amazing to think that someone with that much energy is no more.

Aug 23rd,

What can I tell ya...

The gods keep getting updated, the book keeps moving forward. I have a combined work I am in the middle of for the History section...

I went to a few websites looking for more info on the programs that might help us here, and got instantly annoyed. I don't really see a simple
way of figuring out what I need and the stupid downloads are annoying me atm. Woo.

Hopefully I get an idea before long. I don't have 1k to drop on a program so... well, you follow me.

Recipes have seen some updates. Sorry it's been so slow to see... I have a bad habit of just cooking and not measuring or writing things down.
Next time I do each dish I will prepare a writeup for you, my gentle readers. Heck, I will do a thanksgiving run here soon, turkey gravy and
dressing recipes for all!

Well, I played the lotto when I was on my trip. I got 5 numbers... 1 per ticket... Sigh.

Lemme see, what else. Kelley enjoyed the fishing, I have a video clip of her catching a fish. If I could find my cord adapter for the camera I would
post some pics or something

Aug. 18th,

Well, news abounds. Ok, perhaps not. I am going out of town this weekend so NO UPDATES til Monday at the best. I should have another
piece for the History section then. It's my dad's B-day sunday, so getting some time in with him.

Under the Main Project, the gods page has been changed a bit. Ok, more than a bit. It should show you a bit about the first 2 tiers if you click on
them too. Yes, I am having an issue getting the lines to line up right, but if you look at it in the exact format I produced it in it looks wicked tight.

We have begun work on chapter 11 of the book. By my calculations, we have passed the halfway point. WOOT! Now to achieve the rest of our
goals...

Oh, I am looking towards programs that will help me do this site better and produce some graphical items that should be pretty basic... Several
people suggested photoshop elements, but looking over the packaging I couldn't decide if it was the right thing for what I want to do. Couple
people suggested Corel's lower end stuff too.

Heck, anyone know how to make a graphical display of donations towards a goal, I will link our paypal to it and show you how close we are
getting to getting the program of choice. *heck, I might tack on a second program to get the site REALLY sharp.*

Aug. 3, 2006

What can I say. Dang sick is spreading. Kelley's got it too, but she's on antibiotics so no worries there. I seem to be about
85% over mine.

Got a couple of new links in the Associates section. Got a couple of fixes done, and Peter and I are working on more content.
Lately we've been focusing a bit more on the book, but the content will continue.

Been doing some house things. Cleaned the laundry room out, cleaned the floor, put down some stick down tile and a room
divider to keep the cats out of the furnace and water heater. I moved the washing machine and dryer a bit more over towards
the door, making them a bit easier to get to.

If anyone wants a cat, lemme know. She's nice, but ours doesn't seem to like her much. Hmn... Think that's about it. will
update again before Sunday, I promise.

P.S. Warren's Journal is updated.
July 24th, 2006

Well, what can I tell you... I am as sick as a dog. It seems I have an upper respiratory infection. Evil bugger too. So, while I am
mentally incompetent I decided to restructure the entire website. So, if you find a broken link, refresh a couple times then
send me a FEEDBACK and I will get it fixed.

Peter's done with his MBA, and as such gave me a story! It's under the new Fiction Series button above. Also, I put a new
button for the book, aka MAIN PROJECT. I figure we need to start dribbling some background and world info to get you
salivating.

Kelley's car is Moy Bueno. Domo Arri goto Mr. Scion XA designer. The savings are already being felt. YAY.

Hmn.. did I mention I am sick?

July 11, 2006

Whew, another day older and deeper in ... well, you know. Today we see several additions to the site. FIRST! Martin's tale is
up and available for your perusing. SECOND! Paypal has been added for... well, donations. If you like our site and enjoy
reading our stories, throwing us a few dollars. Those funds will be used for things like site maintenance, copyright funds,
payment of Guido... you know, the basics. Pens, Paper, Envelopes. Donating helps us to maintain as high a quality site as
possible.

Kelley's new car is in, hopefully will get it all finished and in the driveway by friday. Here's to hoping.

Peter's working through his last week of his MBA, so everyone cheer him on. He's worked hard, so he deserves it.

That's all for this week. FEEDBACK

Technical difficulties and mad lawn gnome disease have conspired to keep me from being able to update the site regularly
as of late. Many apologies for the two or three people looking at it.

lemme see... FEEDBACK! I don't think I have received one email not from Peter or myself through either the feedback or
personal links. If anyone would like to utilize the links for email so I can test them, even if you want to tell me I am a bad
influence on influenza.

Hopefully getting Kelley a new car soon. At least before it explodes while she is driving and leaves her on the highway in a
seat holding a steering wheel... Yay 40mpg cars!

Only 2 new postings under the general writings in this update. Soon, we will have more. I hope. Honest. Actually, I am 50%
done on Martin's first entry, and am working towards creating a comedic serial piece as well.

June 20
DANGIT! What a week. If it hadn't been for me being out of town one day, and having a couple of interviews, then having my
system crash, I might have had more content up in a timely manner. Then again, I might have played WoW instead. Back on
track though.

GENERAL WRITINGS has seen an update! YAY! Got 3 up, with 2 pending. Thankfully, Peter didn't get me a bio yet so that is
still my favorite page. Hopefully will get some more up later this week, and might even get Martin's Tale up and running. I am
planning a comedic series as well that Peter and I can hand off between us to frustrate each other's plots and cause mayhem.

Got the business cards, and I have to say, I love our Tagline. Wilson Ernst Enterprises. Bending reality one story at a time.

lemme see... Still looking for FEEDBACK! If you don't send me feedback, I will get lonely and have to visit your house. I tend
to break things and put my feet on furniture, so we just don't want it to come to that, ok?

June 8 ~ RAWR! I am annoyed. I had totally redesigned a bunch of stuff on the site and then my editor crashed. Color me
annoyed. Big time. So, let me try this again, and so help me if it crashes again someone is getting a shiv.
I am redesigning elements of the website based on feedback and such. Keep them coming. FEEDBACK!
My new roof on the workshop didn't leak in the rain, and my gutters caught it and placed it to the ground correctly. Yay!
Unfortunately this means I need to make a new water feature for my back yard. Am thinking about a fountain... we will see.
I saw Peter yesterday and we went over some ideas for the site, and such. I can honestly say, he doesn't look like Cher that
much. He's just over a month from graduating with his MBA, so he'll have more time to put in here and on the book.

Tuesday, June 6

So, it's begun. I got a lot of work done, once Peter sends me some goodies we will have both our basic bio's up. Look for
links to our personal pick's for junk on the net soon. They will be listed for workplace friendliness.  Hopefully we will have a
few writings up later this week. Just got to wait for some last minute details on them. I am still working at trying to set up a
BB... if I can figure it out will have that sooner or later. Hmn... what else...

Oh, got a new roof on the workshop today, and new gutters. My exciting life never ends

Oh, and don't be surprised when the layout of pages changes. We look at this as an ongoing working piece..
