Lorena and Kelly have breakfast with Aunt Julia and Aunt JeanI always get slightly nervous when Lorena and Kelly hang out too much with my sisters. For the first two years of our marriage in Florida I had Lorena pretty well convinced that Walmart was much classier for shopping than the mall. Julia and Jean completely wrecked her with respect to that within 50 milliseconds after we moved back to Oregon. This morning, they all went down to Biscuits Cafe in Wilsonville together while I had breakfast with Harold and Curt Nichols, Jeff Cloyd and Justin (that, incidentally, was very, very nice). Now I am waiting for the latest bombshell that the J aunts dropped on them. Thankfully, Lorena has figured out that most of the stories told by the Chapmans are only very roughly based on the truth.

Still, Kelly looks entirely too attentive in this picture. She is down for the weekend. She has an old computer that has been dropped, the battery is about dead and a lot of other stuff is wrong with it. I found a Dell Outlet coupon and got her a great computer for less than $600 so that was a very good thing. Kelly has a big meeting with her professor on Monday to show that she made herself useful so far this summer so she is spending the day in the coffee shop studying. In the meantime, Christian has a monster presentation to make to people who are funding his research at MIT Lincoln Labs next Thursday. He has great research results to show them, but spent so much time getting the results right, he has not had enough time to prepare or practice the presentation yet. He flies to Boston on Wednesday, gives the presentation on Thursday and flies home on Friday.
