Hey Justin!

Glad to see you. I'm going to start a "Roll Call" thread so everyone can sign in on one place and then we can figure out who else we have to corral over here.

I'm tentatively thinking - * very loosely * - along the lines of trying to go see Dad and Gayle in the spring, and then I heard a rumor about Germany in the summer. It would be really fun if we could hook up over there...

When is your Spring Break? Maybe we could think about going to Tucson around then. Delicia talked about maybe meeting up, too.

I'd really like to go down there, and I really want to see those stone rocks - what are they? Lirops? - Lyrops? - anyhow, I'm very overdue for a visit and I'd be willing to line one up with your

Well, seeing as how I'll be stuck in class for most of the spring until April, I can't promise anything. However, if someone can convince the powers that be (i.e. my dad) to front me a plane ticket, I'd definitely be up for some Beal-family good times. Hope everyone had a good Christmas, and I wish everyone a happy new year too!

Brett, the kids and I are here already, having a great time. All's well. We're happy and still employed for now.

Happy Holidays - We'll get back on soon.

(Dad says 'Hi' - He'll get on soon too. Probably do some spell- checking for you...)

Hey there, Uncle David - just out of curiosity, what are you going to get back on soon? Or am I too young to be asking...

Justin, et al.,

'Get back on soon...' Interesting, I'm getting old - it took me a minute to figure that out, but I returned to my office this morning to discover that Agilent (in its cost-cutting wisdom) has discontinued free coffee stations around the site and jacked up the price of the cafeteria coffee. So I'm excused for my slowness today.

FYI - Joy has said something about organizing a family reunion this year sometime. Don't know any details at all; I heard this from Dad.

Okay, back to the grind.

Dave
