Thanks, Mako & Karen!

Thanks, George!

Hi all-- Jonathan and I will be walking again this year in the City of Hope Walk for Hope to fight women's cancers (breast and other). From their website: What is Walk for Hope? Walk for Hope Nationally Presented by Staples is a national series of eight fundraising walks and a national virtual walk ...

Wow. So very glad you're O.K.

We're in the odd (for us) situation of having at least one of us--possibly two of us--flying in for the Pro. I'll be coming from Austin, TX, and can arrive anytime between 11 in the morning and 11 at night (haven't booked the flight yet, but it looks like those are my options). I'll drive back with ...

The waters have receded, the course is being rebuilt, and the event will be held.

Eric is at the Speedway now, and he says the lake is deeper than we've ever seen it (something about water up three light poles).

The weather channel said that between 6:30 and 9:30 a.m., Fontana may receive as much as 3/4 to 1 inch of rain PER HOUR.

Oh, the Clemens kid is going down in a shifter kart....I think he weighs more than me now.... He says he weighs 150. Maybe. If we weigh him right after he drinks a gallon of milk. The jr Kart was a different story....sand bagging little kid..... :mrgreen: Not a little kid, though, at 6'2". His...

Thanks Larry, Kurt, and Tom!!

Thanks so much, George, Jeff, and Gayle!!

Hi all-- This Sunday, Jonathan will not be running with Formula Junior in the morning, and it's not just because he now has that long-awaited driver's license. Jon and I will both be walking for hope at the City of Hope breast cancer walk. If you are interested, you can read more about this terrible...

I wasn't anticipating posting this until AFTER this year's Nationals, but... As some of you probably already know, Eric and I will be chairing Nationals in 2010. This year, we are serving as Assistant Chairs. There is no unimportant job at an autox (ever had anyone discover something unsafe with you...

I don't even have the words to adequately convey my thoughts. Please know that you will be in my prayers. And I believe in miracles.

Speaking from experience...the BMW.

(Rear-ended at 40 mph. My 325 and the Camry that hit it, totalled. The two SUVs and the Scion in front of me...all damaged. Me? Not a scratch.)

It cracked me up when Mari wrote 'Computer Science and Electrical Engineering'...Reminded me of a quote from a movie I can't remember the name of: 'We have both kinds of music, Country AND Western!' Was it the Blues Brothers? <shrug> Sorry, another random off-topic excursion. It's a hard habit to b...

Hmm.. well i gotta go by Tom's to get a fuel pump, and it IS just down the street. Send me the address. From Tom's... Back out to Carnelian, south/left on Carnelian, west/right on Hillside, south/left on Sapphire, west/right on Rosebud. 7994 Rosebud St. Big rock in the front yard, and depending on ...

Not CSEE, huh?

Thanks for the suggestions. My friend ended up working 21 hour days, so we weren't able to get together.

Matthew said yes to Berkeley today (both their Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments were named #1 in the country for 2010, woo hoo).

Robert Puertas wrote:And Matt can get a job in college like the rest of us.

Oh, I'm sure he will...but a $53,000 job? If one of those is available, it'd be Eric (not Matt) taking it!

Hey Orange County folks--

Got any suggestions for places for dinner in or near Anaheim? I've got a friend from Elementary School who is in Anaheim on business. Any ideas? (Bonus points if we don't need to raid Matt's college fund to go there...)

The radios are there. I'm not sure that the chargers are, though. If they are, you will almost certainly want to plug them in first thing (I don't think they hold a charge all that well...). If the chargers aren't there, perhaps someone can get them?

I turned 30. It was a bad year.

Good genes, great parenting.

Thanks and double thanks. Matt is truly a neat young man, and I am lucky to have him as a son.

Whew. Matthew probably won't be sitting in the study playing computer games next fall. He will be either at Carnegie Mellon or UCBerkeley, in all likelihood. He heard from both of them today, and will probably relinquish his spot at CalPolySLO and Kettering tomorrow. He is also waitlisted at Caltech.

Jonathan is entered. It's only $50 for FJA and FJB...

Eric is also entered.

After everything was done and packed, the Clements family tried to get out of Irvine quickly so that Jonathan could finish the AP Biology essay he left at home. I made the mistake of trying one more time to find the I've-got-to-spend-the-rest-of-the-money-in-my-flex-account-before-it-vanishes-expens...
