So, just to keep you up to speed, Janine and I are now in California. Just got in this morning. The airports were a complete zoo, but we got on our flight without any issues and arrived on-time.

Our itinerary is pretty open over the next few days. Meeting Orshi and friends for lunch tomorrow, family dinners abound, and then we head up to Fairfield and Lake Tahoe to enjoy the last half of our vacation with friends and family.

I've been following the forecast for Lake Tahoe closely over the last week, and - while conditions have been improving - the snow just doesn't look impressive. They could have used the dumping Denver received this week (3'-5', for those of you keeping score at home), but instead have gotten small spurts of 6"-8". Rain was in the forecast, but that may hopefully change over to snow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some nice powder!

Gotta run... Merry Christmas to all!!
