…of causing my viewers to go blind. Despite my fondness for the retro Nagel-esque male profile that existed in\u00a0the previous background (which didn’t even last 24 hours), here’s a more tame background.<\/p>\n
I must agree with all of you that the brightness was a tad disturbing – and in no way indicative of my dark personality. The subtle tones here are more in line with who I am, I suppose.<\/p>\n
Currently, we have an assortment of rather boring backgrounds to choose from. Rumor has it that we’re going to be offered more – possibly (and hopefully) with the ability to customize them. If that ever happens, expect to find that little man return in a lovely muted charcoal and burgundy.<\/p>\n
Wel, today’s the big day. At approximately 2PM I leave work, meet up with Mike, pick up our Mini-Cooper and head to the Cape. I’m really looking forward to it despite the rains that are expected late Saturday evening and Sunday. But it appears we’ll have a good stretch of weather until then.<\/p>\n
I’ve not been to Ptown in the off-season in years, so this should be fun. I just hope it’s warm enough to enjoy walking along the beach (not laying out, obviously). And I’m hoping that, being a weekend, there will be more shops open with some great off-season sales.<\/p>\n
Mike gets to meet my parents this afternoon, too (EEK). Many of you have met them in the past – any advice? Fortunately, my parents are pretty low-key and have liked everybody I’ve introduced them to except for a few ex-girlfriends back in high school. Otherwise, they seem to enjoy when I bring people down with me. Then again, my guest and I usually either\u00a0take them out to a restaurant\u00a0or cook them dinner.<\/p>\n
HHHMMM – maybe it’s the free food they look forward to and not company?<\/p>\n
