Been pretty quiet in SYR. Helen and I have been working way too much. But we will fix that next weekend, as we have tickets to meet up with the boys and Chloe in St Thomas! Am going with plenty of sun screen, as I am a pale white man who gets outside only once a day near sunset to go for his run. I do get out for occasional chess game, but it doesn't do much for my tan:
Quite a bit of travel coming up for us. Mid April I travel back to RST for a week. Mid May, we go to CHI for a weekend, then end of May we go to PIT for Noah's graduation and CLE for Nick's.
Speaking of Nick, Laurie sweet talked Chloe into sending a few pics of the reclusive guy:
Apparently his hair got cut in Jan. And the suit was affordably tailor made when they were in China. He and his 2 roommates/business partners wowed the Ohio small business grant committee with their business proposal and were just granted $30k! They are moving to a different apartment after graduation and will give the small business business a try.
Zach got inspired to renovate. He has been working tirelessly nights/weekends on the basement rooms. He ripped out the family room closet to make that room bigger, wired it for tv and sound, replaced the suspended ceiling with sheetrock, put in recessed lighting, and has new carpet coming next week or the week after he gets back from St Thomas.
And in while not sleeping doing the above work, he is still working on his car. He sent me this picture of his manifold/turbo today:
He goes on a round the US trip starting next Saturday. First to Oakland, CA, where Uncle Ben will show him around a bit so he can see if he wants to move down there this summer (thanks Ben!), then to join us for some sun fun for mid-week, then to NY for a few days with his car buddy Surja.
I just bought a new camera (brand new just shipped Nikon S600), so should have a few pics to share in 3 weeks or so, after we get back.
