And the rest of the news. But wait, before I get to that, Allison (my niece), in the toilet!

She climbed right in! I think swimming lessons are in order - what a photo. Plus the toilet is symbolic of the rest of the crap in my website - it's a perfect fit (so to speak!).

Now I can get to our recent trip to Hawaii (December, 2001):

** Check out our new house tucked away on six wooded acres with a water-fall right off the wrap-around deck .   The lot borders Higganum and Durham.  For those that don't know the area, it means that deer (photos soon) and wild turkeys outnumber people not to mention other interesting forms of wildlife such as this luna moth.  Nice!   The cats, Zena and Hercules, like the fireplace and the country kitchen.

** My new 400 gallon pond built this past spring. It's home to 20+ goldfish and two frogs that seemed happy to move right in (yes you koi fans, I have not graduated yet). Total cost was less than $100 and a very sore back thanks to JustLiners.com, a homemade filter, an abundance of rocks in the woods, and wild plants (iris). It's approx. 5 x 8 feet and 30 inches at the deep end. Here's a larger photo. I'm already thinking about a larger pond for next year.

** Ben's Derby Page Awesome.

**Check out the Hosta Library put together by some guy named Bob with lots of hostas who seems to have too much time on his hands.

** NEW! Pub Run Photos as well as the rest of the JoeSwift.com photo library. You don't want to miss it!
