small successes

we had a handful of new members yesterday, which is always exciting. even people who don't participate were reminding others as they left the building to, "tie it on tuesday tomorrow!" next time, i'll be sure to correct them that it's "tie one on".

oh, an sorry about the blatant advertising over there on the right, but i gotta pay for hosting some how. when i get my affiliate idea up and running with the online tie retailers, then the ads will be easier to digest.
