Know Anyone Remarkable?

There are cards and letters and e-cards and email and online flourists and facebook tags and a trillion other (I counted) ways to send someone a note expressing some sentiment like Happy Birthday or "Good job getting out of bed this morning" or whatever. And there are another trillion (ok, I'm rounding up this time) ways to honor someone or mark some important event. But they are boring and stale. Fortunately for all of you, I come bearing fresh produce this morning just for you. My good friends Tony and Jennifer have launched a new web business that is a fantastic way to show someone you care or create lasting memories of a person, event or both.

Check it out right now....seriously right now...I mean it.

I used this service to create a book for my parents to help them celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. We compiled notes and letters from friends to go along with pictures of the party we had and many of their closest friends. They can now safely use their mental memory banks for more mundane things since the memories of their party are safely stored in a beautiful hardbound album that was custom designed by my lovely wife with the help of Remarkable Tributes. It is awesome and I will definitely use this service again.

Whether you want to create a celebratory website for someone or give them a gift that is 1000 times more meaningful (I did the calculation and it is exactly 1000 times more meaningful) than a simple card or even one of those photo calendars you can throw together at Kinkos, this site will hook you up.

I don't get a discount for saying this stuff and Tony and Jennifer would still be my friends if I said nothing, but this is a really cool and easy to use product and just like with Viva papertowels, Arrested Development and my food rules, when I come across something brilliant that could be lifesaving (CAUTION: products not lifesaving), I feel I must share it.

Have a good week and go tell someone they are remarkable.

In the interest of full disclosure, I really had little to do with the tribute book. I really just waved my hands around and Jennifer made it happen. She's a powerhouse, what can I say? I highly recommend using Remarkable Tributes.

Since I consider Mactastic to be a true powerhouse, I think I might be more that a little bit afraid of Jennifer, whom Mactastic claims is a powerhouse.

Mactastic, are you saying that Jennifer has powers even greater than your own?

I cannot comprehend power of that magnitude!

Thanks for the heads up. I love the concept and I often wonder why we put together tributes such as the ones we do at funerals when the person being honored isn't there.

Looks like a great way to show someone they're loved and appreciated while there with us.

As the proud owner of this tribute book I must chime in and add how truly wonderful this book is for our whole family. Great memories I get to enjoy all the time. My great thanks Jennifer and Tony for being so creative and my wonderful Daughter-in-law for being the gatherer of information and making this happen. Boy are we a blessed family.

Update on Dad

Quick post today. My Dad went to see his oncologist today after his latest CT scan. Because things looked good before, he has not had a scan in 3 months which seemed like a long time to be honest. Well, it is all good news. The doctor reports that there are no new spots or lesions and that the existing tumors are shrinking. My Dad will not have to increase his dosage of the drug he is taking which would bring with it new and unwelcomed side effects, so this was the best possible news. He will have another ct in 3 months. Over all, he continues to deal with some side effects from taking the drug, but they are relatively minor and in general, my Dad is doing quite well. Thank you to all who have been keeping him in your prayers. I know it has made a difference. God is good all the time.

Another Movie Review

I had big plans for another post today, but my actual job got in the way. Instead I posted a review for the movie I saw last night: "Thank You for Smoking." It's a good one and the full review is now posted on StumpTown Entertainment. Check it out. One other thought before I go. Tom Hanks' mullet in the Da Vinci Code got me thinking. If so many "rednecks" are wearing mullets these days, are they still rednecks? I mean doesn't that hair protect the back of the neck and keep it lilly white? I wonder what Descartes would say about this? Probably something like: "huh?"

Please Pray With Me.

Hello out there in blog land. I am sad to have to report today that we got some bad news regarding my father this week. If you read this blog or know my family, then you know that my Dad has been battling a rare form of aggressive cancer for several years. The first surgery removed a football sized tumor from his abdomen. In a matter of months the cancer returned, this time primarily in his liver. More surgery this past May killed the tumor in his liver. In early August of this year he had a CT which showed no new tumors or growth. The surgery was a success, he had finally recovered and then got a clean bill of health. It was a good month in that regard. Unfortunately, he began feeling discomfort in his liver a couple weeks ago. He went in for a CT this past Friday and then discovered this week what we had feared, but had not allowed ourselves to believe. The cancer had returned and was again in the form of tumors in the liver. In a month’s time one of the two new tumors was ...
