So I ditched my original idea for mattygregg.com, which was to take a painting that McLean Communications made of me before I left the company (found here) for a timeline format. I'm a fan of timeline formats. Don't ask me why.

I hope this is done before 2004 ends so that it still applies... heh.

Kathy sent me a really nice text message this morning: "Just wanted to say hi and hope u slept ok."

Very non-typical these days... maybe we're going back to being interested in discovering each other. I certainly hope so.

I'm looking forward to the 9/11 Commission coming to New York City on Tuesday & Wednesday. I hope to meet both Rudy and Tom Von Essen... they're both slated to be there. The schedule, if you're interested, is as follows:
