Hangin’ with the parents
This past Christmas was great for so many reasons. One is that there were quite a few gift giving and receiving occasions (December 19, 23, 24, 25, and 31). Jenelle and I went to my parents’ house on the 23rd. We all got lots of cool stuff, some of which I captured on digital film. […]
Christmas at Gail’s
On Saturday, December 19, Jenelle and I traveled to Lodi to celebrate “Isaacson Christmas” with all of dad’s family. Aunt Gail and Uncle Mike hosted an amazing party. Andrew, Ella, and Lily made the trip from Minnesota. Also joining us were Dan & Sandy from Ohio, who picked up Katie and her boyfriend, Chris, in […]
The Little Red Car
There should be lots more posts here in the coming days, as I begin to post Christmas photo albums and share some of the great family times we had. But first, I’d like to tell you about Jenelle’s 1997 Toyota Corolla. Jenelle bought the Corolla from a college friend while she was at Northwestern. We’ve […]
Welcome back from Grand Cayman
We got back from the Cayman Islands on Tuesday the 8th. When I arrived at work on Wednesday the 9th, I was delighted to discover that my colleagues had decorated my cube. It’s not easy to get a slightly-filled plastic wading pool and real sandcastles in an office environment, but they did it. Nice work! […]

Cayman Islands, Day 3
Not as many pictures from today, but here’s the album. Sunday, December 6I ran the marathon in the morning. I’ll eventually have a recap posted on the running log, but that’s not done yet. To summarize, it was a bit hot for running, but I still managed a solid finish in 4:04:28. The race started […]
Cayman Islands, Day 2
You can browse the photo album in a new window while reading the recap.Saturday, December 5I got up a bit early (but not too early) on Saturday morning to run two miles. This is standard day-before-the-marathon practice for me, especially when traveling. Feeling how hot it was, even before 8 a.m., confirmed that I would […]
