Johnson Family Birthday Bash

Plans are taking shape for a repeat of the consolidated Johnson Family birthday gathering during the weekend of 24-27 February. A proposal has been advanced to extend the scope from first quarter birthdays to a celebration of all family anniversaries during the year.* This has been well received and will likely establish a new precedent for the event.

While agreement has been reached with respect to the idea in general and a date, there has been no discussion regarding venue. Once this has been established, a follow-up announcement will be posted.

* editor's query: Would that not transform the gathering into a reunion?

Another Node Falls

In a rare instance of proactive communication, Mark has given notice that his personal website will soon disappear as he and Kristie abandon their ISP. When executed, this will also invalidate their mutual, private eMail point of contact. At an as yet undetermined date in the near future both their website and Earthlink eMail address will cease to function.

UPDATE: — 20060124
News has reached us that Mark has established a GMail account to handle personal correspondence henceforth. Interested parties are encouraged to contact him through his work address; if you were not included on the distribution list of the announcement.

Discovering Sarah

Serendipity and a little investigation has revealed the existence of two cyber presences for Sarah.

Joining a multitude of other teenagers, Sarah has an established residence at Xanga.com which dates back to 18 December 2003. This discovery puts her in the company of Rebecca, whose Xanga site is poised to celebrate its first birthday in a little over a month.

Wishing to share the fruits of her passion for photography, a little digging revealed that Sarah also has a established presence at Flickr.com. Dating back to June 2004, the content is less prolific, but has shown more activity of late.
