Bill Roper's Journal

This is not my vacation. But it was Gretchen's brother Jeff's brief vacation and he's been with us for dinner and post-dinner conversation for the last three days and it's been great fun. I dropped him off at his hotel tonight and he will grab a cab tomorrow, head back to the airport, and rejoin his lovely bride for their anniversary tomorrow.

He's also helping K edit her college admissions essay. I have promised to convert the Google Docs file into some emailable format so that he can take another look at the revised version before it escapes into the wild.

After all, if you've got a man who ran a publishing company and who edited a bunch of books as your uncle, one should take advantage of that! :)

My brother-in-law, Jeff, just posted on his long-standing weblog a list of features that would make up the ideal blogging environment. Since his blog doesn't yet allow permalinks, I'm going to copy that text here:

Jeff and Carol have picked up QBit and the cats are much calmer now.

We have custody of QBit (short for Quantum Bit), my brother and sister-in-law's (Jeff and Carol) new Bichon Frise, while they're down in Champaign-Urbana at their nephew's graduation. This has greatly disconcerted the cats, who are wondering what this small ball of excited white fur is exactly.

More than you ever wanted to know about QBit is here starting on May 5th. (Apparently, Jeff hasn't yet set up a way to link to individual posts. Bad techie!)
