Zoé Jezabel Green
Jon and Laurence had a girl. Zoé Jezabel was born on Friday at 13:32 CET. Isn't she adorable with that little French pout?

College Friends
Every couple of years or so I try to hunt down some people I've lost track of over the years. Recently I made a concerted effort to find some of my hacker friends from Hatfield Polytechnic.
Through a very circuitous route I managed to track down Ian Smith. He was in my first year at Hatfield. Only my first year, as they asked him politely not to bother coming back. He had long hair, big lips, and always sported a sweaty brow. He carried all his belongings (a couple of battered Marillion tapes) in a tatty waitrose carrier bag. Anyway, there he is, after all these years, it seems amazing to me.
On the back of that success I hunted down Nick Lindridge, which was so trivially easy I can't imagine why I hadn't stumbled over him years ago. He was a PhD student at Hatfield. He was a shockingly well adjusted young man, so there's not much I can really say about him.
Then my best mate Jon tracked down John Wild, by searching for information about PDP-11s. He was also a PhD student, but so unfocused that the likleyhood of him ever finishing was very low. A highly entertaining character. He could be teased into frenzied foaming animation when prompted for stories about the intricacies of ancient irrelevant pieces of hardware, of which he was, of course, an ardent collector.

The Honger
Sam helped our ebullient neighbour, James Hong, decorate a hat for his boys outing to Las Vegas. Doesn't he look handsome?

We visited 'Aidan Alexander
We visited 'Aidan Alexander Petitt' and his proud parents Scot and Colleen this afternoon at Stanford Hospital. He was born on Tuesday at 11:24am, weighing in at 7lbs 11oz.
Cato just came into the home office. Usually she'd be out at 9am. There was a feather hanging from the left whiskers, a feather hanging from the right whiskers, and a feather stuck to her right paw. Her claws were sticking out of her feet like a kitten when the claws are just too big for the feet. She's very pleased with herself. Cato: 6 Humming Birds: 0.

Well, it's been almost a month since I last updated these pages.
After the visitation of Lin, Sue, and Simon we had a week of vacation on the wonderful Hawaiian island of Kauai. We swam, hiked, snorkled, biked, played tennis, drank cocktails, and took a helicopter flight around the island. No photos yet, as we didn't take the digital camera, and we need to scan the prints.
The Merrells visitation has just begun, with John's parents Stuart and Sue arriving on Tuesday, and sister Ruth arriving at the weekend. The parental units originally visited in October 98 and the sibling unit in July 98.
