Thaw before reheating.

We’re off to DC for a very very very last minute (company sponsored) weekend, due to my parents generous offer to watch the kids.
And it’s SNOWING there. Will is going to freak out if he finds out we’re going somewhere with SNOW and he’s not coming. (This is the kid who shivers when it’s 75.) Cheers for good flying weather along the East!

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

Hi Holly, Paul,
Sorry I am a sad excuse for a friend :-)! The work you are doing is amazing and I am downright floored with all you’ve accomplished since Katrina. We were in Katrina, but we were safe and sound in Cudjoe Key, FL when it was a harmless Cat 2 hurricane.
Please, if you can, ping me :)! Lots changed for me career wise as well as life in general (I am ending my normal life on 5.31.2008 as you’re probably aware…finally getting married after a decade of figuring out why the hell Brenda puts up with me). I’m also now a research engineer with Carnegie Mellon University developing vision applications using FPGAs :-)! This is a heck of a lot more fun than pushing packets through switches. I also do side work with some video game cohorts from years past :-)!
The address is ehenciak@yahoo.com.
I’d have to say that house restoration looks a lot more enjoyable than pinball fixin’ :)! More importantly, you seem to have one heck of a family in the works there :-)! I am so happy for you :-)!
