Bill Nye the Lindy Guy

Please, consider the following:


No kidding. I just ran into Bill Nye at a lindy hop. He's the real deal. We talked about control systems and launching rockets. Then he had to go for a cha cha.

Christmas In Twain

Christmas 'Eve'

Christmas morning


While looking through old photos, I found these two from college. I bet some of you were there. A bunch of us in the dorm realized we missed the old (and new to some) custom of waking up at sunrise on Christmas morning, so we redid it in my room right before winter break. The night before, Christmas "eve", twenty four people crammed into a single room, got a tree and decorated it, placed gifts for each other and for donation, pulled out some carols, and shared a potluck of classic Christmas goodies, hot cider and cocoa. And on the morning of December 9th, we all woke up early (a feat for college students, you know) crammed back into the room and opened our gifts amidst smiles, laughs, and hugs. Afterward, we took the donations down to the local gift drive. It was one of the best and warmest memories of my life.

hmmm...I'll let it speak for itself.
Hope you enjoy it too.
