COMING & GOING
Kirk arrived home from his semester abroad in Argentina at about 1 p.m. this afternoon. He's in good spirits and has amazing energy -- considering that he has been up for over 24 hours. He'll be with us until the first week of January when the winter quarter begins at UCSD. However, he doesn't yet have a place to live when he goes back to San Diego.

Kent, who was home for Thanksgiving, left for his trek back to UCI at about 9 a.m. this morning. But he should be back in about two weeks. We're juggling bedrooms with the guys coming and going, Earl hopefully coming home from Brandel Manor soon, and Betsy moving bedrooms. What it all means is that I've got to get going to paint one of the rooms so that everything can move forward.
