forgot to say my congratulations to john & joy!  all i can say is... jt definitely raised the bar for canaan engagements ;)  anyone else flying to europe to propose anytime soon?
 
also, happy happy birthday to reni!  reni & maurice are great - they always open up their home for me to stay in when i go down to LA (as much as i dislike LA, i always like visiting them :)  unfortunately, my darn friends keep getting married down there, so be on the lookout for me down there twice in september!  and baltimore too.  i'm coming to visit you all.   time to use some of the billion days of vacation i have accrued.
 
one more week until quarter ends... please let me survive.  this quarter has been... stressful, to say the least.   too. much. pressure.
