Yesterday's Suck was really good.

Site of the Week

Weather News

The TV people are calling it "Blizzard 2000." As of 12:30 EST, Yurasko Group World Headquarters in Vienna, VA had over half-a-foot of fresh powder with it blowing all over, reaching nine inches in some parts. Oh, to go skiing in it! Needless to say, BeltwayLand is snowed in, at least this time, it is geniune.

I seem to recall other January 25's when it snowed considerably. I miss the good ol' days when Mayor Barry would immediately flee to a warm locale.

My graduation and senior portraits are now included in "1999" of my Photos page.

Announcement

Today is National Hugging Day. You know what to do.

Personal News

Bread! Milk! Toliet Paper! It has snowed in BeltwayLand, all public institutions are closed. The usual hysteria is present. At Yurasko Group World Headquaters, in Vienna, Virginia, the official accumulation was 5 inches.

Today I recieved my diploma in the mail, a wonderful site to behold. I have since framed it. I also recieved a certificate for my minor, who knew they sent one of those along too?

Along similiar lines, I am now officially a member of the Penn State Metro Washington DC chapter of the Alumni Association.

Sports News

Michael Jordan is now in charge of the Washington Wizards. I don't think it will matter much at all. He's more Ted Williams than Vince Lombardi, who both took control of Washington teams in the 1960s. Lombardi reversed the Redskins losing ways and began the climb to respectability. Williams made little difference and the Senators moved in 1972.

Site of the Week

NEW FEATURE - Starting this week, every Thursday I will choose a WWW site for the coveted "WFY2K Site of the Week," based on some of my favorite sites or recent finds. This week, The Onion, a satrical newspaper.

Happy Birthday Eric Folley.

While it is well known that I am not a fan of the Redskins (the color scheme of this site may be a good hint for who is my favorite NFL team), it was good to see them in the Playoffs, the whole area was energized again. Today's game with Tampa Bay was really exciting, a 14-13 win for the Bucs. It was also cool to hear Matt Millen ('79) hum "Fight on State" after Brett Conway ('97) kicked a field goal for them.

Rest assured, I have my old school Tampa Bay orange jersey for next Sunday.

On a side note, Dan Turk probably ought to avoid Georgetown, Old Town, Adams Morgan, and The Vienna Inn for a while.

Happy Birthday Craig McGill. The birthdays keep on coming, it happens every year. I suppose I ought to wish his twin, Ginger, a happy birthday as well.

Happy Birthday Erica Marker!

About WFY2K - The Eighth Generation Web site of William F. Yurasko, has been completely re-written.

I've had a relaxing and quiet week, since everybody left. I'm currently continuing the job search. This weekend, I am taking my brother back to Altoona and then going to Lewistown to visit Erica.

Well, it looks like Y2K was no big deal afterall -- the world is safe again...but for how long? My computer still needs a patch, everything I did this morning is now from the year 100. Overall, not too big a deal.

Today, I have named my Web site as "WFY2K." It really did not have a name before, I figured this was as good as time as any. Changes to the site should be complete and the copyright has been updated.

Personal News

Spent New Year's over at the Bailey's, creating what many observers believe is the first time two Erica's (Marker and Bailey) had ever been in the same room. Christian was also there, making this the most time I had spent with him in years.
