This would be the first response I got to my new homepage. I’m not a pro, and I’m not all that interesting, and it’s not _entirely_ done (close enough), but just in case you’re looking for a diversion, feel free to check it out.

The majority of the content is pictures, and there are tons of SD-related ones, so…if you go for no other reason, go to “Support Your Doper Addiction.”

Nice site! 🙂

I liked the SD pics you have. But for some reason UncleBeer doesn’t look like I imagined him- a cross between Uncle Jesse (Dukes of Hazzard) and the Frugal Gourmet.

I didn’t explore it all, Chris (I’ll go back), but it seems easy enough to navigate and I like the minimalist (i.e., loads quick) approach (and the doper photos).

Chris, dear, you have one of the most well-designed personal web pages of anyone I know. No extra annoying graphics, or screaming colors. Just a kind-on-the-eyes, easy to understand page that makes one want to re-read it. Kinda like you.

I guess that makes sense. And if it doesn’t, I’m tired and incoherent anyway.

If it is not clear to you by now how much I enjoyed your site (since you sat beside me the whole time I browsed it and watched me giggle myself into tears on more than one occasion)I want to make sure you know. I think it is fantastic.

Of course, I could be biased… 🙂

Very Nice. I ran through the whole Bowen catalogue, what a sweetie - he was born exactly 5 weeks before my boy was - what a good year for babies. 🙂

Chris, your site is killer. 😉

Bowen is adorable, (just like mom).

You Mid-American Dopers look like you know how to party!  
Definately gonna plan a trip to Chi-town soon!

## great job!! xoxo
