I’m off to Houston tomorrow morning for a multi-themed trip.  The Memphis Tigers’ advancement to the Sweet Sixteen is more than a good enough excuse to go back to Houston for a weekend.  Not only do I have plans to see the Tigers stomp Michigan State and either Stanford or Texas to advance to the Final Four, but I’m also getting to see the Lucy’s Legacy exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on Saturday morning.  I am so excited! Oh, and did I mention that I also plan to eat at the Cheesecake Factory?  Yum!

I’ve just added six image galleries. I’ve adjusted the timestamps on them so that visitors can see when they actually happened. I’ll be doing this with all of the old pictures I add to the site so that they’ll show up in chronological order. As I add them, I’ll make a post so you’ll know to go find them. The ones I added today were those from our trip to Niagara Falls over Labor Day weekend, our family backyard camping trip, Halloween 2007, Christmas 2007, Elliot’s 4th birthday, and ESPN Game Day at the FedEx Forum.

I’m sure it had become obvious to just about everybody that I haven’t updated egarst.com in - oh - about a year. Shame on me. Really, I’m very sorry about that because I know a lot of people depended on this site for updates on our family and on Elliot, in particular. After well-deserved and prolonged hounding from Dave, here is the almost new-and-improved site. I say “almost” because I’m still working on the site design. What you see here is not my work, but gradual changes should be evident over time.

There are a few new things about this site that I think will be a big hit. For one, this is now a blog. The good thing about that is that updates are a lot easier to do, and I can give Dave access to post entries as well. The guestbook is gone, but you can leave comments on the posts as long as you can get through our nifty spam filter. Come on, I dare you!

I’ve converted most of the text content from the old site, but I’m still working on getting the pictures moved (and updated!) I appreciate your patience.
