Marty invited everyone over to watch the real “Big Game” over at his place. The bright side: Bacon was served. It was a spectacular November day in San Francisco. After 12 years and 10 roommates in the same apartment, Marty finally got new paint and carpet. Jen took Dad to see the game and he…

Thursday night, Grace and I boarded a red-eye for Dulles, on our way to Burlington, Vermont, for the very exciting occasion of Jeffrey Taras’ marriage to Kimberly Maley.

For the second year in a row, Grace and I went to see Michigan play in the Rose Bowl. Though we lost again, it was a great game. Jen, the Wolverine’s number one fan, of course made the trip to Pasedena. It was good to see her childhood friend Sheri (who claimed to be rooting…
