I really like this version of amipow.com. I hope that it looks ok on everybody's computers. Does it take long for it to load for anybody? It probably does for those of you on dial up. I'll keep working on everything, and soon I'll have a pictures page. It'll have new pictures though, so you won't have to look at the old ones.

My finger is finally healing where I cut it on the knuckle, but I doubt it will ever look the same again. I'll have to make up a better story to tell about it though. The true story isn't exciting enough. I've cut myself a lot this week. I'll try to be more careful.
