We traveled to Pittsburg
h weekend before last. Noah did a fine job on his senior recital. This is he with his instructor, at the post-show reception, catered by the amazing H&B caterers:
I explored the CMU and PITs campuses and captured the not-so-elusive flu bug. Brought it home and cultivated it for about a week. Next time I run into a bug like that, I intend to slay it quickly with this nifty new old sword that Helen's friend Z sent us last week:
This is Helen skating with Z at the downtown rink when he came for a weekend visit a few weeks ago:
And this is our resident master chief having fun with a sea monster:
And here we have the same sea monster, cooked and ready for .... well, ready to have it's picture taken
Boy news. Zach is adapting to bachelorhood. He now has 2 friends staying with him in the house, in a paint for rent deal, free rent in exchange for some badly needed room re-painting. He had a fun weekend snowboarding in Utah with cousin Abby. Amazing powder on the slopes. He is considering a move to California this summer, doing a lateral transfer to a Discount Tires down there.
Nick took the graduate school exam, doing very well, but will probably give his company idea a go instead. He and his roomates finished their presentation to get funding for their startup. They will hear from that in about 2 weeks. If they get it, they plan on staying in their same place for a year, working on the program they would sell to help people learn Kanji.
