Well all

Sorry I have been gone...but had to take a break. My wonderful
woman Becky...who i have always called my wife since we have spent
the past three years together...finally gave me the honor of making it
official. We were married on Friday May 3rd and spent the past couple
of days having more fun then can be imaginable down at the coast.

But I am back and glad to see the forums are back up.

Dave

Oh! Meant to ask you. Is Dave your real name. I know you have
taken Schliemann from on old Chessmaster.

PS: Back above 1300 working for my certificate. :-)

Well David is...but she has always called me Dave...so it kinda sticks I
guess.

Man we had so much fun...we must have spent about $100 on riding
the bumper cars alone...and at $1.50 a whack that is alot...but she
loved it....and ate the best lobster from Australia and the best crab
that can be purchased.

Thanks John for the congrats....and I will start getting that certificate
ready.

Dave

Congratulations on making it official. You are in such a state of
euphoria. May you have a happy, blissful marriage and may your
games against me suffer. Peace, Kirk

Thanks kirk...we really are in that state...and as for my games
suffering...I will try harder to lean them in that direction.

Dave

Congratulations Sir! Best wishes to the two of you on your wedding.
And to tease - I hope you're not back so soon because you were
worried about timing out on your games! If so, the site definitely
needs a "Getting Married" timeout extension option!

But I wasn't worried about it....but that nk you so much for the
congrats...it was a beautiful ceremony and like I said the afters were
awesome...our hotel room was right on the beach basically...and we
have more pics then I can count...which is another reason I am
begging these guys to put a pic page where we can email them pics so
everyone can see what others look like.

I have a real good one of me and will have the link to it in a couple of
days.

Dave

So where on the coast did you go? I know you're in Vancouver, so I
was thinking somewhere on the oregon/washington coast? Few places
I've found more beautiful than there. Trying to place the bumper cars
though...

Seaside Oregon...it was pretty great...we have been there a few times
before...but this one we went full out...ate the best and had more fun
then ever...and spent ALOT of money...but when some of the shop
owners found out we were honeymooning we got really good treatment
and a few souveniers.

It was majorly memorable.

Dave

Congratulations Dave & Becky. It might seem a small step for humanity, but it is a big step for you....
Gilbert

Thanks Gil.

Dave

Just noticed you hot on my heels and the others on the ranking
board. Way to go!

Can't wait to play again.

Dave

don't pay too much attention to that, Dave. I just had a few winning games finishing faster than other games where I am really not in the
best postition. And yes, I will come back to you later on for a rematch. You really gave me a lesson there in our previous game. Gilbert.

Congratulations Dave and Becky! I hope will be as happy as we are,
and maby a lot of children? Good luck. Julia

Thank you Julia...we will be happy I am sure.

Dave
