A couple nights ago, we watched Cirque du Soleil’s latest traveling show, Ovo, in San Jose. Arnon and I have seen Cirque du Soleil seven and eight times, respectively, but it was the first one for Anuj and Gurpreet. Now that I know what to expect from Cirque du Soleil shows, it’s so much more fun to experience it with first-timers because their sense of awe is infectious and makes the show all the more exciting for me.

I have two programs from the show, so let me know if you want one.

When my sister and I cleaned out my mom’s living room recently, we discovered half a dozen bottles of root beer that we had brewed ourselves back in 1996. We had even designed the labels ourselves (Sia loves Snoopy), adding “Born On” dates just like Budweiser had done earlier that year.

Cute, no? Well, the bottles look cute but I recall the root beer itself tasting like crap, which is probably why there were so many bottles left.
