next time you're in a bookstore or at the gym

Ariel started back at IEEE Spectrum full time a month or two ago, but looks to have had a piece just published in Scientific American, titled Perils of Newborn Screening. I had not seen it yet, but Cyndi was at the gym last night and saw a copy of the magazine there, leafed through it, and found Ariel's article. She brought it home. I read it, and once again was amazed by Ariel's talent.

Cyndi's extended family had their reunion this weekend. Bennie had 11 brothers and sisters, and he was was of the youngest. The cousins are spread throughout southern California, central New Mexico, southeastern Arizona, and I thought I heard maybe even around Austin, Texas. There was a time to meet on Thursday, a picnic on Friday, and a restaurant on Saturday. Otherwise, a work on the home weekend and hamburgers on the grill last night, even though it was in the high 90s and brutally hot.
