Well, I’m here. :) After staying up all night packing, I slept through almost the entire flight both from Hartford to Cincinnati and from Cincinnati to Los Angeles. In the latter case, I literally went to sleep over Indiana and woke up just east of Barstow, Calif. Now I’ve been reunited with Becky and Toby, and I’m slowly unpacking and settling in. I can’t believe this is the last time I’ll be returning to L.A. to start a new semester at USC!!

Anyway, I have a ton of pictures to post (the Rowland rally, in particular), but I also have a ton of stuff to do over the next few days, so the website is not exactly going to be my priority. But I’ll try to keep it as up-to-date as possible.

In the mean time, keep visiting our new AdollyaCam, a webcam of our front yard in Newington.

Well, I’m off. Plane leaves for L.A. (via Cincinnati) at 1:30 PM Eastern time. I won’t be posting from airports and such, because I don’t have my cell phone. Adios…

Oh, and check out the new webcam at our Newington house showing the front yard and Hartford Avenue.

Players battle for a rebound during overtime of the Newington High School girls basketball team’s Jan. 10 conference showdown against the Platt Panthers of Meriden. The Indians beat the Panthers, 48-44, on the strength of late clutch shooting, and improved to 4-5 overall, 2-1 in the CCC South. The undefeated, #10-ranked Newington boys team also pulled out a nailbiter against Platt.

Jen’s 7-year-old cousin Caitlin smiles in a picture that she took of herself, using my digital camera, on Jan. 9. Here’s a less blurry picture that I took of Caitlin cuddling with her Pooh bear.
