It took a while for things to settle out after that, but finally they did, and suddenly we were in the year 2000. I needed a new site. The old site had a very archly ironic, slightly dark edge to it, because that's who I was at the time. It's not who I am anymore. I'm happier than I was when I built that site.
Life looks better than it did then.
I've resolved some old issues that were still hanging around at the time. I don't feel quite as much need for my old ironic armor as I used to. Don't get me wrong, I'll still be wry and ironic, but now I'll be doing it just for fun. Now she takes a good picture. I'm happy with and that hasn't always been the case.
