Catching Up

It's been a crazy few weeks in Condo Podo with Andi and Chuck spread across the continental US for most of January. Chuck snowboarded in Whistler with some friends. It was a convenient trip as friends from Boise are moving to Fairbanks, AK. So Chuck met with Rich and they drove to Whistler for a few days. Chuck then flew to Burlington to meet up with Chris and Jen Tumilowicz and Andi headed to Florida for a meeting in Fort Walton Beach. FWB was really cold but Andi had a great room on the beach and had the opportunity to catch up with Geoff and Andrea Jensen. After returning from Burlington, Chuck flew to Portland (see post below) to do some field work.

National Gallery Skating attempt #2 was a success. Chuck, Andi, and Ashlee got up early yesterday to give skating another shot. We arrived at 1000 for the first skate of the day...Chuck took pictures and laughed at us and Ashlee and I had a great time. After nearly two hours of skating we headed to Georgetown for lunch at Filomena's Italian restaurant. Then we walked around Georgetown, did a little shopping, and a little sightseeing before heading home. Tracy Coyne, in DC for her IMA days stopped, by for dinner. We had a great time catching up with her. She, Erik, and the kidlets are heading to McChord AFB, WA this summer.

This week has been busy catching up with friends in town on business or just for fun...Greg DeWolf, Tracy, Ty Little, Pete Sheridan, Kurt Kremser, and Blairs' Kaiser. There are a few more folks coming in later this month...
