The TivoCommunity KC Meet is going great. Having a ball with friends from around the country. Pictured here: Kristin modeling dessert at Cafe Sebastienne.

This is a crappy camera-phone picture of the view from my 12th floor office window. This storm is incredible.

Tuesday night is family night at Hy-Vee

This is my friend Dana. We went to dinner before attending a preview screening of the movie Serenity. Dessert should help us get through the 2 hour wait in line.

This past Friday, we attended KU Hillel’s Student Leadership Shabbat. Mikaela was wonderfully well-behaved and patient, even when dinner ran late. As a reward, she got a taste of fruit dipped in the chocolate fountain

I just had dinner tonight with a friend that, until now, I’d only known by his online persona on TivoCommunity – “Hippster”. Steven and I had a great dinner at Boardroom BBQ – a precursor to a couple more gatherings ofTiVoCommunity folks here in KC this weekend.

It was also her first taste of cotton candy
