OK.  Been a little stressed lately at work, but OK otherwise.

Near downtown where-I-live.  It's pretty dead down here.  We both wish we
could live in , but there aren't jobs for us up there...

Wow.  The commute must be a bit of a drag.  A number of my co-workers
actually live in San Francisco and commute to Mountain View.

Probably more like 45 minutes, but yeah.  We hardly get to up the east bay
these days; we were up there about 1 month ago to celebrate my friend
Kathryn's birthday.  Noelle and I intend to go to Brian's shindig in
December.

I included my Dec 21, 2006 Solstice message below, in case you wanna get
somehow of an update.  You'll be receiving my 2007 in a few weeks.
