First look at New England + the Cooks come to visit

Road Trip of the West

Finally getting around to putting up some pictures. Here are our travels around the wild west.

Best of Times, Worst of Times

Vacation is always a mixed bag.  First pic is this morning, second pic is this evening.  We'll post some more soon.

packed up

Its strange to look at all your possessions in one spot. This is our home packed into a 8'x 10 x 6' space. We depart tomorrow for a grand tour of some beautiful western states including Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.

Faux Chinese Wisdom

Before the fateful job interview a few weeks ago we all went out to a chinese restaurant and afterward each got a fortune cookie.  The fortunes above were what we found (transcribed again below).

• Jerry - There are many new opportunities that are being presented to you.
• Vivian - Many pleasurable and memorable adventures are in store for you!
• Levi - Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

I know it is probably not advisable to read too much into faux wisdom, but I find it interesting that I'm headed for some "new opportunities" (new job), and Vivian will certainly have some memorable adventures (with an exclamation point!).  And... well... I guess Levi is just gonna have to deal with it (quit your whining kid, this is supposed to be fun).
