Crash! :(

It was inevitable that this would happen some time with the thousands of cars and hundreds of short stops on the freeways in California: We finally got in an accident. It was a 4 car pile up and we were car #2. We got hit pretty hard by an SUV but it looks like the fit may survive. We haven't had the insurance look at it yet, but it still drives fine. Luckily no one was hurt and everyone had insurance. (we still finished our date and had a nice dinner out!)

The white car shown was at fault and luckily he got the worst of it!

Newport Beach for Easter Sunday!

We enjoyed a peaceful Easter Sunday with Joe & Jamie (& Fam) at Newport Beach today and we all got plenty of sunshine. It was about 83 degrees out! Our favorite thing was when little Joe was checking out the waves and overcoming his fears of them, he finally dared to get in the water and said "it's not so bad!" Then one really came in hard and soaked him, but he screamed loudly "ITS NOT SO BAAAAD!"

last lecture

so, a classmate of mine forwarded this on... the original lecture was delivered at carnegie mellon university, this is a reprisal of it on Oprah, reduced to just 10 minutes... and although i'm not an Oprah fan, this is really great.
