I'm hoping to create more appealing graphics, but version will always only be a Lulu.com special if I don't accidentally delete it at some point. I'm also planning to eventually put up an Adobe/Macromedia Flash version of some of the poems. They'll be animated versions read by Isaac Tanner Madsen (aka: me, the author).
Today was a rather interesting day. My family had a bit of fun messing around with fire - or rather, my sister's boyfriend is over visiting and we've been painting the house. Anyhow, we put a cloth around the chandelier so paint wouldn't drip on it and ruin the glass and such.
Of course, after my brother's concert at the high school, somebody had to turn the lights on in the dining room. The bulbs in the chandelier were in direct contact with the cloth and it didn't take long for smoke to start billowing forth, creating all sorts of foul smells.
Dad, of course, wasn't too pleased with the incident, but everyone else had a good laugh. I'm just glad we caught the problem before the house burned down. That could have dampened everyone's mood - or perhaps enflamed it. Either way, the Madsen family climate would have not been the friendliest of weather to find yourself in the midst of.
