Holy cow! What amazing timing!!! We took the short trip over to Cupertino while waiting for the Apple Store in San Jose to open tonight for the big Leopard party (where we plan to get two free t-shirts!) We weren’t sure what we would find, but we had no idea we’d get so lucky 🙂…

Like Magic
We’re making our final approach (at least, pretty soon… I can feel us going lower) and even from the middle seat, the view is breathtaking. The mountains are amazing. Even the deserts are pretty amazing. What I am most amazed by though is, having done this trip several times before on the ground, the fact…
Southwest Alphabet
Well, we made the next leg of the trip, but it feels like barely! We got to Chicago just after 9:15 maybe, local time, and had to get the flight to San Jose, CA at 9:55 local time. Seems like plenty of time right? Jen took a needed pregnancy bathroomo trip, and we headed through…
The Window Seat
I forgot how amazing it is to fly. I think I probably felt that way as a kid when we would fly back and forth from Venezuela, and various trans-Atlantic flights. But I just forgot. I am so glad I had a window seat! The view is just amazing. To watch the things on the…
The Less-Safe Plane
We got to the airport around 6:30am, checked our baggage and got our boarding passes. Everything went pretty smoothly there, until we got to the line for boarding passengers. It was so long! After just a few moments, we were approached by a guy from TSA who handed us a yellow card. He asked us…
And So It Begins
The alarm sounded at 5:30 this morning. But I think that was about the 20th time I had awaken since going to bed at 11:30 the night before. I think my mind had been active all night. I feel… tired. But ready to go. Our plane leaves at 8, so we’re heading out in a…
This Time Tomorrow…
So, it’s really here. For months—maybe even years?—we’ve waited for this day, this trip. We’re packing stuff up now, getting the house ready to leave. The kids are ready for their vacation, too. A whole 8 days at Grandma & Grandpa’s!! And for us? Eight beautiful days at a resort on the Pacific Ocean near…
100 Times Faster Than WiFi?
Check this out! CNet is reporting that IBM and MediaTek are working on chips that will wirelessly transmit data more than 100 times faster than wi-fi! Up to 2.5 gigabits/second?!? (Compared to 11 to 54 megabits/second of wi-fi.) You could transfer a 10GB file in seconds. Wirelessly. They hope to have something out on the…
Just Her Time?
I was browsing a local news site, and read this article. Very sad. But once I got to the end of it, and noticed detail that almost seemed glanced over, I concluded that perhaps it was just her time?
The Goal of Parenting
Earlier this week I was thinking about being a parent. (A parent, not “apparent”…) I think I was processing some issues we’re working on with the kids. Maybe I still had some lingering thoughts in my head from a conversation we had with our friends last Sunday about the ups and downs of parenting. Whatever…
