A while back I saw a headline that looked something like "house robbed after man twittered about going on vacation." We are home now. Rachel, the kids, and I took off to the Eugene airport on the 15th, only to return home after no plane would take us (we were going standby), so we drove to Portland on the 16th (at 3 am) and got on the second flight (even got first class) heading out to Denver. We then spent a week hanging out at my mom's preschool, which was pretty fun:

Then we flew home, standby (I spy someone drooling on a seat):

p.s. I graduated with my bachelor's degree in Computer Science, yes!
