winter break wooo!

This afternoon, we got back from Chicago. We had popped up to visit Lindsey's sister Maya leadsynth, and their Chicago friends. I'd never been there before, but it was a great time! It's even relatively easy to drive up, and Maya conveniently has a spare room.

In no particular order, we baked a bunch of cookies, listened to some festive music, went out for a lovely brunch, visited with Lindsey's friends from Grinnell, played Rummikub (which turns out to be really fun!), and ate and ate.

Particularly, Nick and Rachel (the Grinnell friends) are really interesting; they've studied anthropology and history, and have visited all kinds of crazy places around the world (like Peru, Thailand, and New Zealand!), and we talked about travelling and speaking languages and life, etc. Nick has a very dashing Peruvian hat.

For now we're back in Bloomington, but tomorrow, we're headed out again, this time to visit my family in Tallahassee, and then up to Atlanta. If you're in either of those places, expect to hear from us... at an unexpected time. ...

... or, y'know, we'll call.

OK, have fun :)

It'd be pretty killer to see you when you come up to the ATL. Let me know when you're here.

We'll show up on New Year's Eve, and be around for a few days thereafter.

Where's the party? Do you have particular festivity/hacking plans?

*hugs!*
