Thanks for Coming!

Thanks to all of you for your effort to come out to the family reunion this year. It was a pleasure and a privilege to do so many fun things with you all. I give an extra big thanks to Mom and Kim for hosting and feeding so many people. Some of the activities were a bit of a bust (101 inventions didn't thrill me) and some were surprisingly fun (kickball comes to mind). The printing museum was one of my favorite parts and I'm so grateful you all humored me to participate. It meant a lot.

I'm looking forward to the next round of fun, wherever it may be. I just chatted with a colleague who had his family reunion at the Rockin' R Ranch and spoke very highly of the experience. Some sort of destination like that, or the river trip we talked about, might be fun next time if Nicole doesn't have us all come out to Texas. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be great.

Love you all!
