I negotiated the next couple of days off when I was offered my current job so Lorena and I could fly to Phoenix to see Christian and attend a church event. Some of our old friends from San Diego will meet us there. We will have a chance to see old friends, visit and eat good food. Christian finished his last final for the semester yesterday, so he will be free to spend at least a little time with us. He is in the thick of his research right now and expects to remain that way for the next two and a half to three years. He needs to take seven more classes and they really just get in the way of what he is research.
