The subject reminds me of a Homerism -- "Hey, how come I can't get no Tang 'round here no more?". Anyways, my family was out in the bay area last week for a visit, and that was fun, but kindof busy. And it didn't exactly leave a lot of time for the computer. I got some new toys that I need to post about, and of course there have been doins-a-transpirin'.
The primary of which, right after my parents left, I went and picked up Suzie Schornack, Laura's (of Mark and Laura fame) little sister, from Kevin's place, and she has been my house-guest here in Sunnyvale ever since. Suzie is going to be a freshman at UC Berkeley in the fall, but the dorms aren't quite open yet. She caught a ride out to the Bay Area with her dad, but he had to go back to work a couple of states away, and so she needs to bridge the gap. And that's where "old reliable" Andy comes in...
Anyways, it's been fun having her here -- I kindof get to be tour guide of the bay area. I don't really know what I'm talking about, which makes sense, since I've only lived here a little more than a year... But what's to know, really? Drive, work, drive, eat, sleep, repeat.
Duh!
