About Kristy

I’m 30 as of April 2011 which is the weirdest thing to say because I still feel like I’m 19. Currently living in Charleston, SC by way of Philadelphia, PA (more specifically, Delaware County – DELCO!) with my Wolfpack. I graduated from Temple University (TUMF! Go Owls!) with a degree in Journalism & Advertising – but I’ve been employed as an IT geek for ten years. By day, I’m a Systems Analyst for the Cancer Center of a local hospital, which means I help keep the systems running that help my coworkers save lives. By night, I watch a lot of crappy TV, spend too much time on the Internet, read a few books and bond with Steve via the XBox. I thoroughly believe in retail therapy, a few glasses of red wine, the Philadelphia Eagles, macaroni and cheese and shooting NOOBS in the face on Call of Duty.


About Steve

Steve is my copilot in life. He’s a bit older than me, which means he entered his thirties first but he only gets better with age. We went to high school together but we were light years apart in social circles. He was popular and captain of the football team and I was a Chorus nerd with a select few of obscure friends. We shared a Physics class and I developed a fleeting crush that later, surprisingly, came to fruition when we were working retail jobs in the same hometown mall during college. Fast forward 11 years later and we’ve made a life together.  Steve is a mechanic by trade & he’s one of the hardest workers I’ve ever known. He puts up with my craziness, calls me on my shit and loves me like no other. His favorite things are video games, fishing, shooting guns and annoying me when I’m not paying attention to him.


About Sammy

We adopted Sammy in 2007. Steve picked him because of his rockstar hair. I looked at him and said ‘Ew!’. But we both fell in love. He’s a little bit Jekyll & Hyde – when he’s good, he’s very good but when he’s bad, he’s horrid. But we love him just the same. His favorite things are his Chewie, giving kisses & going bye-bye.

About Baxter

Baxter joined us in 2011 after we found him as a stray wandering around my Grandma’s house. He is all puppy … he plays hard and then he crashes hard. His favorite things are ice cubes, pulling every toy out into the living room and cuddling.


About Four23

I’ve had a personal blog before they were called blogs, starting my time at free servers and then being hosted on a few domains before I bought my first, and up until now only, domain – kallure.com in 2001. I stayed that site for a little under ten years until I got a wild idea that I had outgrown the Kallure identity, at least with regards to the website and wanted to try something new. This idea, of course, kind of came about around my thirtieth birthday and I figured what better time to start over and start fresh at a place that might closer fit me personally.

I rolled a few ideas around in my head for awhile and of course, ten years later, it’s hard to find easy and straightforward domains, especially those of the dot com variety. So I settled on Four23.org, which is a simple reference to a day I’ve always loved and a day that will always partly define me – April 23, my birthday. Simple, easy and to the point! Here’s to another ten years at this little home on the web!
