Congratulations! Julia and I have a tenth one month later, June 21. We've been very interested to follow your careers, your lives and the near misses (it's dangerous to walk and ride in CA!) Jeff has been a Beach Boy who has worked his way North (El Norte!) as a Web Site Wet Back who was willing to do all kinds of back breaking and carpal crunching hack work for the journalistic powers that were and are cold and hot wired. Jeff's motto: from Warehouse to Where else! And it looks like he has just about exhausted possibilities. What's Left? To Write! Another book on the Web, and like a Web crawler, browse the world. As the Bay Watch team from Nebraska, we celebrate Jeff's accomplishments and realization of the American Dream: Go to California and strike it rich! Join the beautiful people by the Bay, and bail out before the pink slips fly and the NASDAQ falls. Jeff has an incredible sense of timing and techno-chutzpah.
Leslie has had an equally interesting career and unequal engagements with cars and California traffic, running like a Marathon maniac all over the Bay, even riding to work, traversing the Golden Gate, looking for her own fortune by instructing middle schoolers in the fine points of Spanish grammar. No money or fame in that game! Now, on to Seminary! Not such a shocker. Look at her picture on the edge of Grand Canyon and you'll see Carlene looking back. Mirror Image! Same commitment to the less fortunate and to Christian values. We are a bit concerned about her ideological inclinations. Marti and Mary! A formula for Liberation Theology and Revolution! But if San Francisco Theological Seminary is cool with this, then hey, it's not our problem. We expect , now, from Leslie a book. Something like "Are You Running with Me, Mary (or Marti)?" or "Web Design as Christian Meditation."
Ten for you and ten for us. Where will it all end? Good luck, God bless, and keep in touch. Veen Vectors are are more exciting than Bay Watch. We hope to visit you again in San Francisco even as you careen and carom around and off careers , corners and cars. We'll just hang back a few lengths if you don't mind. This is Nebraska. We're kinda cautious and conservative.
