TGIF

October 27, 2006 · 1 Comment

Thanks to Mike, Maiken and Lily for extending the outstanding hospitality of Casa Juan to the hungry Canavans last weekend!  You know Connor was impressed when, after a 10-hour day at Disneyland, he woke up Monday and excitedly told us ‘I am going to tell Ms. Joyce about the Lamborgini car!  I will use it for sharing.  My clues will be “It is loud.  It is fast.  It is black.”  Thanks for the ride Mike that sure beat the hell out of Mr. Toad and the Teacups.

Oh yeah, my left thumb hurts, and I am not sure I will ever master the Daxter dream sequences.  After 2+ hours my best effort was 21/40 in the first round.

All in!

OK everybody’s registered! That means you can all post entries to the site.

Also, I signed everybody up as administrators, meaning you can change the title, the “about” text, or the look of the blog. If you feel the urge to do this, go for it. I just chose a look that seemed to suck the least.

And Matt, it was great to see you and family last weekend!

The Automatic Governor Selector

Governor Selector

Very interesting tool.

I came out strongly Angelides, which surprised me quite a bit. Even more surprising to me was 0% for Arnold. I didn’t think he was that bad.

Thought you guys might be interested in the current balance of the Yak Foundation. As of the end of Q2 ‘06, it was $17,504.52, which represented a $428 drop in value for the quarter, though the fund was up around $150 on the year.

Q3 statement expected any day now.

Yak!

We’ll see how this works out, but thought I’d try a blog site as a way for the Yaks to keep in touch. Post here whatever’s on your mind, whatever you’d like the other yaks to hear.
