Hi Michele!
I hope the weather there is as beautiful as it is here today; it’s so sunny and blue-skied and just the right temperature. And I have to work 
Thanks to that Nimbda virus I’ve been avoiding the Internet as much as possible today. I’ve also got quite a bit of work done. Imagine that!
Yes, I very much enjoyed those pictures of Arnold! Did you say he was married? Doesn’t that just figure?! Let’s keep the hope alive that he has a double somewhere out there who is identical in every way - insert wicked smirk here - except he’s single.
At the Olive Garden, I enjoyed a generous portion of the eggplant par-mee-shan-uh. (Pardon the phonetic spelling!) Speaking of yesterday’s lunch, as we five were all leaving, I was at the head of the pack as we made for the door. Gary was close by telling me that he’s sure he’ll be calling me soon with some admin questions. I reached the front door and was about to open it, but I paused to look out to see if it was still raining. Suddenly it opened easily as Gary was right there behind me and to the right a bit, his husky, strong arm opening the door, his body close enough to wrap me in a big hug . . . sorry. Am I not pathetic?
I agree - firemen are sexy! And don’t think I’ve forgotten about that dreamy cop - I’ll be dressing up extra nice next week at jury duty in hopes of seeing him. But, like you said, I don’t think I could fall in love with a guy in a dangerous profession. Then again, when people say they are scared to fly, I believe that when it’s your time to go, it’s your time where-ever you are. Similarly we could marry a nice safe accountant and an airplane could hit his office out of the blue, or he could die from eating a bad fish sandwich at McDonalds’. Or we could marry a firefighter - a sexy firefighter 
- and he could fight fires all his life and finally die of natural causes at age 95.
Are you planning to watch any of the new shows that are coming out this fall? I’m planning to see if Alias is any good. I also plan to watch that show 24 when it premieres on October 30th; I’ve heard rave reviews about it. It seems there was something else that I was going to check out, but I can’t recall. Of course I’ll see my big three shows - Angel, Buffy, and Charmed. I may need to buy some more videotapes …
I did not know that my site was inaccessible for a week. I try to check it out at least once a week to make sure it’s up and running, but I bet it was over a week ago when I last checked.
In other web site news, I am thinking of getting my own domain name. Instead of typing www . geocities.com/mychezanne you could just type www . anne.com or whatever. Actually anne.com is taken; I’m trying to think of something cool. I just know as soon as I get one I’ll think of the perfect one. There are a lot of options - I could get a name and set up a new site, or I could get a name and have it forward to the site I already have. It’s really cool - for several nights I actually could not sleep because I kept trying to think of the perfect name. (How silly is that?) The best one I’ve thought of so far is icount.com but it’s taken. I liked it because it had a double meaning; it could refer to my math minor and it could also refer to my selfworth. I want a name with a good double meaning like that, and I’d also like for it to refer to levels, because I feel that I’m a multi-level person. Hey, what about multi-levelgirl.com? Or not. So do you have any ideas?
I’m glad you liked my drawing. I drew it on the evening of Sept. 11 - I wanted to do something to show my support. Yesterday I was crying on the way home again as I thought about a photograph I saw on the Internet. It was a picture of one of the pilots wives and her two girls (I guess they were about 8 and 12) at the pilot’s funeral. The woman was clutching the flag they presented to her - it’s such a very sad scene. She lost her husband in that horrible way, and they gave her a flag. (What else can they do?) Writing about it now, I get tears - the senseless tragedy of it all! That man will never see his girls grow up. And every person that is missing or dead has left behind equally tragic circumstances. It’s absolute madness!
That’s it for today. Talk to you tomorrow! God bless!
Anne
God bless America - land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her through the night with the light from above . . .
