De-ice

Waiting while the plane is de-iced is a normal part of flying in Michigan this time of year.

One of my non-conference related highlights from my trip to San Francisco was the diversity of ethnic food available within walking distance. The first evening we found a tiny Vietnamese place and I ordered beef with noodles and iced Vietnamese tea.

Happy birthday

We celebrated Julie's birthday while she was in Michigan last month.

My parents gave us all reflective vests for Christmas, which come in handy for crossing the road to the mailbox on dark evenings.
