I just returned from the InterLab 2003 Conference held at the Stanford Linear Accelerator in California. A gaggle of my coworkers also attended and we had a great time. It was a great bonding experience without the distraction of work.
Congratulations to my cousin Derek and his wife Kris on the birth of their first child, Alexis Marie Kieffer (5lbs. 10oz.). Alexis is the second girl born to this generation of Kieffers along with my sister's newborn daughter Kari.
Johnny Cash will be sorely missed. The Boston Globe published an article that details his life. Amy and I had a laugh at Bono's quote about Johnny -- "he had "the most male voice in Christendom.
Yes, much to Amy's disappointment, it's almost football season. Soon Amy will be battling my 8 hours of cursing on Sunday afternoons and 3 hour on Monday evenings. I may be in the house but I won't really be "present".
Kari Peyton Shedrick entered the world today at 1:45 p.m. EST. My sister, Cindy, and Kari are both doing well after the birth. Kari weighs in at 8 lbs. 10 oz. and is 20.5 inches long.
Dominic, my brother-in-law, says he's already working on how he'll keep the boys away ;) She's beautiful so I wish Dom luck in this endeavor ;)
