We went to Bryce and Zions for Thanksgiving weekend. It was beautiful and freezing. I think at one time, the car thermometer read 2 degrees Fahrenheit. But we had a lot of fun. I found out that I’m really good at pictionary, well not at winning but making people break into paroxysms of laughter.Well everyone has a different talent. 

Some of the news papers claimed this is the worst blizzard in Utah since 2001. My work sent all of us home earlier than usual. My friend advised me to stock up some food, in case I’m stuck in the house without emergency supply. I was pretty excited with anticipation, got some tea and curled up in front of the computer. I was all ready to witness a downpour that was going to rival the “Day after tomorrow"....

My work let us leave an hour early in the anticipation of the most intense blizzard (aka snowmegeddon) this afternoon. It just feels good to be home at 4:15, ( I just realized how sad that sounds). There’s something about watching the falling snow with a cup of hot beverage that is unmatched. Hopefully it doesn’t pour down on us when we are in Bryce or Zion in a couple of days....

There is an interesting thread on reddit titled: “When did you realize that you were an adult”. I still feel that I haven’t quite reached that realization yet. I’ve come close though. During 2nd year into my master’s, I was guiding a tour of the University’s Robotics lab for middle school kids. After wowing them with some cool robots, I let them play with some of them. One of the little girls came up to me and asked shyly  Sir, Can I shake your hand?...

… or do most men have trouble keeping track of their wife’s conversation.She started saying something that probably sounds exciting in her head, because I completely failed to see the cause of excitement. The story took 4 different related jumps and I lost track of the thread. Of course, I had to voice my thoughts: Honey, do you realize you are all over the place? I have no idea why you are telling me this....
