Boulder Thanksgiving

Boulder was great! We had a fun and memorable Thanksgiving feast in a conference room right off the very cozy hotel lobby - complete with Christmas tree and fire place. We later returned there for Tasta Poss, games, and HF football - go Broncos! Me ad Dan had a blast with the kiddos at the pool, while the ladies hung out at the Pearl Street Mall. I think Dan and I broke the "longest time at the pool" record. All in all a great time and our little niece is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

Catchin' up

So I'm sitting in the back seat of the truck speeding up to Boulder to meet my new niece. I can't believe she's been alive since October 29th and I have never met her!
A lot's happened since then. Trying to keep my head above water at work. In fact, I've done a far bit of grading on the road today, but there's only so much you can do in a day, so I decided to catch up on telling of my trip that helped me get so behind in the first place: a business trip to San Fran. Here are a few pics from last week. It was a great trip and very motivating. We got to visit with folks at Stanford (most beauitful campus ever!) and observe a very proactive highschool in san Mateo. So here's some pics while we wait to get to Boulder and meet the baby...
The sideways pic of the tile walk show a tile for every year in the school. The first one read 87...as in 1887. They also had a Rodin sculpture garden and one of my favorite cathedrals in the world.
