Last summer I spoke with people about swimming and folks always were impressed with the early part of the equation.  In my head I always thought "Yeah but wait until January 16th when it is cold and driving rain."  So with the record heat this year my prophesy seems to have been way off.

Reminder HW due on Friday

I had a great vacation.  The balloon explosion on Friday night went really well (defined as no one was hurt).  I got better in time for Christmas.  I got to do my traditional shopping with my daughters right before Christmas.  This year the location was a different mall and lunch because Rubios Fish Tacos are no longer in the malls.  We saw The Hobbit and Saving Mr. Banks (tissue alert).  I almost finished building a 12 foot wide gate.  We had a fun New Year's playing croquet though Stanford lost.  We held an engagement party for our youngest catered by the Crepe Man who also sells crepes at the Los Gatos Sunday morning Farmer's Market.  It was great with a wide selection.  I recommend him.
