Party Travel

With many thanks to Pelco, I’m happy to say that I am once again enjoying the hospitality of my home state of California.

I’ve been back for about a week now, having spent the first part of my trip in the Fresno area with my friends Myles, Kim, and David. The festivities included drinking, eating, and a quick trip to Los Angeles for a hockey game. I’m happy to report that the Colorado Avalanche trounced the Los Angeles Kings, 4 to 2. Go Avs!

Special thanks to Myles and Kim for their hospitality, beer, and internets.  Speaking of beer, a certain someone had better hit her brother up for her bet winnings, lest he forget (or drink) it.

After an enjoyable week, I took a train to the greater Sacramento area to see my parental units. Due to overall poor planning and coordination, I was unfortunately delayed for the graduation ceremonies (and after-event) for my buddy Marcus. Otherwise, my trip thus far has been quite relaxing and enjoyable.  Just last night, my Dad and I polished off a bottle of La Folie with pizza and a movie. Lucky I brought 2.  Mom has some interesting plans for events, including (I think) dinner theatre and a play.

I’m happy to report that the Rees Residence Carmichael is rapidly approaching version 2.0. The remodeled house has passed final inspection and the final touches are being put on for move in. I must say, the wiring closet (with a Middle-Atlantic ~24U wall-mounted rack) looks great. The wiring guy even wired up the patch panel and the ethernet closet. The other notable feature of the house is the Kitchen; all stainless appliances and a very nice layout with easy access to what will become an outdoor kitchen addition. The clerestory is also a nice design feature adding lots of natural light into the kitchen, dining, and living spaces.  I’m looking forward to flying back in a few months (I think I might just fly into Sacramento directly instead of into the Bay Area) to see the final product all-moved-in.

I think it might now be time for a nap. Good night.
