Quick update before bed:

It was a smashing weekend. Friday night, went over to Heden for the mellow version of Mez’s birthday party. Got out of the hot tub and went home around 1 AM. Saturday night was the blockbuster combined Mez-Jenny T.-Katie M. birthday party – I don’t know how many people came, but the invite list was nearly 200 names long, and the house was as full as I’ve ever seen it. It was a thoroughly rocking party. I spent hours dancing. Next day I went back to help clean up, around 2:30; the cleanup effort eventually turned into a lounge-around party over at Nathan & Miller’s place, eating pizza and watching Moulin Rouge.

And then it was Monday morning and I went right back into the long work hours. I’ve been going hard at a plan for a set of new language features. It’s an ambitious effort, and there’s a lot of research involved before I can get much design work done – but it’s going to be some very powerful stuff, if we can pull this off.

Tonight met up with Lesley for drinks and sushi, and through the magic of dodgeball pulled in Stuart, Julie, Geoff S., and Michael H. Modern technology is awesome.

I’m taking the day off tomorrow to go skiing at Mt. Baker with Thomas P. and David L. It rained off and on all day here, but it doesn’t look like much snow fell up north – oh well. It’ll still be a fun day of sliding downhill.
