Hi Mom (Dad & everybody else),

Just a quickie as we get ready to run out the door for a W2W core-team Christmas party.

The girls are out of school. Chloe survived finals. Megan did *not* get the Annie part :-( So - they are both up for a good 2-week break.

Wouldn't you know it, Megan got sick the day before the audition. She managed to get through it. In the end a 6th grader in Ms. Keene's choir class got the part. Megan is the under-study for Molly - one of the other orphans.

Chloe worked really hard on finals - she really got organized, poured over notes, studied with friends, stayed up late - and in the end did pretty good with everything except math. Geometric proofs are hard - I don't even understand them.

We had another team building event at work - my boss took us to the movies. We saw "The Tourist" with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie - it wasn't very good.

Theresa and I also watched "Grown Ups" last night on OnDemand. It was pretty funny.

Interesting to hear about some of the movies you've been to see. How was Black Swan? That seems a little racey :-) We'd kind of like to see the King's Speach and The Fighter. I have The Social Network on my list to see too.

I just finished a few decent books. Rick Springfield's autobiography - Late Late at Night. He really suffers with depression. Do More Faster is about entrepreneurial start-ups by a local Boulder guy - Brad Feld. It's in interesting look at what it takes to start your own high tech company - in hopes of becoming the next Google, Facebook or Twitter - most don't make it (1 in 10). And finally, Meghan McCain's Dirty Sexy Politics - it was a pretty light-hearted look at her involvement in the campaign. Not very serious reading :-)

We are off of BSF for the next couple of weeks too.

I don't really have any plans to take any extra days off for Christmas. This coming Friday and Monday are the days off for Christmas. And then the following Friday is the day off for the New Years holiday. I'm on call during the daytime Tue-Thu between Christmas and New Year. So I can't really take those days off anyway.

We had super warm weather here today. After church both the girls had baby sitting jobs. Theresa and went to the grocery store. Then we split and went for a run and Theresa walked the dog. I had way too many clothes on for almost 60F weather.

Church was good. We are doing a project called the Advent Conspiracy. Worship Fully, Spend less, Give More, Love All.


Well that's about it. I'll try to get some new photos up on Ceiva. I have kinda forgotten about that
luv u,

Jeff
