Karl and Angela Rees

This is the most exciting geek news I've heard in a while, and the sad thing is that it took me more than a month to find out about it.  Guess that's what happens when you get a kid and a real job.

Karl worked a lot at the beginning of last week to get everything in order for the holiday. But we had a lot of fun hanging out together over the holiday. Wednesday night we played games with Wayne and Becky.  read more »

Have you ever noticed how, perhaps moreso than any other holiday, Americans obsess over making sure people have "a place to go" for Thanksgiving?  This thought occurred to me in my interactions with co-workers last week?  As with most holiday work-weeks, conversations inevitably turned to what we were doing for the holiday--but, more often than not, the discourse revolved around the question of "do you have a place to go for Thanksgiving" as opposed to "are you doing anything special for Thanksgiving."  The assumption, of course, appeared to be that NOT havi  read more »

It was Thomas' first trip to the beach, not to mention our first escape from the South Bay since we got here.
