Life is swamping me right now...can't you tell?  I haven't posted for almost two weeks.

God has been gracious though.  I've been zipping through the mountain of work that has piled up this week.  I'm trying to keep up the motivation and energy and actually push on now that the tasks are managable. 

This past weekend, I went up to the Bay Area to see my relatives.  I totally enjoyed myself, got work done, hung out with aunts, uncles, cousins and a college buddy.

Interestingly I met this highly inter-related Asian Christian community.  Between Dave my college buddy, his sister Joann who is now my roommate, and my cousins Clem and Lu I'm one degree away from many people up there. 

Actually, hanging out with Dave he took me with him to a fellowship meeting and I ran into Clem whom I wasn't expecting.  Clem was totally shocked, but at least he knew I was coming up and would be in town.  Joann had dated one of his friends in the fellowship.  I also met many of her really good friends.  That was kind of interesting because I knew that they as a group were really close, but it is uncertain whether they knew much about me and the friendship Joann and I are developing.
