Holiday Photos

These are just some photos from the holidays. It was a quick trip that included the following:

  • Driving for 2.8 hours to get from the San Francisco Airport to Stockton. I certainly do not miss Bay Area traffic.
  • Stopping at the new home of my friends Bandy and Sarah and meeting their new son Devin.
  • Helping my folks with five technology issues and celebrating the holidays with the whole family.
  • Visiting my friend Stacey and building a bed for her. She was experiencing some cold symptoms and because she is a double-lung transplant recipient, the doctors asked her to come in. So I took her to the Stanford Emergency Room where some tests were performed.
  • The doctors kept her under observation overnight so I stayed there until I had to catch a flight back to Colorado in the morning. Meanwhile, I kind of got a kick out of eating cafeteria food and sleeping on the Stanford campus over 17 years since graduating from there.

Ultimately Stacey was ok, which was a relief. Here’s hoping her health holds up in the new year.

Stacey did not have a can opener but I managed to open up a can of clam chowder for her using a bottle opener.
cafeteria food with green and red bell peppers, kidney beans, eggs, rice
After taking Stacey to the Stanford emergency room, I grabbed a quick bite to eat. I never thought I'd be eating cafeteria food at Stanford again after all these years.
