Being short on both time and topics today, I figured I'd address some things from the comments section. Firstly to Nancy: My non-gay brother, Brad, just had a baby boy last month named, unfortunately, Benjamin Bradley Meis....The mother of said saddly named spawn is currently his second wife. He currently owns a his advertising agency, Little Fish, in Chicago, as well as part owner of a sign company called Chicagoland Signs. They live in Glen Ellyn in a cozy little bungalow down the street about a block from where a certain Hollywood blockbuster ("Lucas") was filmed, co-starring in the role of "Cheerleader #52", Nancy E. Berrybottom.

As for my-oh-so-not-gay-self, my wife of 7 years and I are currently in the application process to adopt an infant girl, not born yet, through Lutheran Family Services of Missouri. This will be our 3rd child. One of my big demands on the table to her is that before we bring in another little mouth to feed, we need to do something to increase our livable space. So, I just got off the phone with one of my better clients asking her to come over and list our house. I want to build a new one about 20 miles west of where we live now. Someday, I'll put some links up to the floor plans, etc.
