Please to be joining it. http://blog.rossharmes.net/2009/03/18/tournament-brackets/ I haven't been home for Thanksgiving in four years, mostly because its the worst possible time of year to travel.

Instead of just hanging around San ... http://blog.rossharmes.net/2008/12/04/yosemite/ I really hate moving, and yet somehow I seem to do it every single year. The move to San Francisco was fairly easy, though driving a giant UHaul truck on a 10 lane highway is completely terrifying.

Alec, Mom and Dad flew into San Francisco late on Thursday, and Friday morning ... http://blog.rossharmes.net/2008/02/24/skiing-in-tahoe/ Went to Tahoe again this weekend and realized that I have NO IDEA how to ski in powder.
