Jodi's grandparents Irene and Ray (pictured above) recently celebrated their fifty-ninth wedding anniversary. 59! Hard to believe, isn't it. A very happy anniversary to you both. (More pictures will be posted on our photo site - see the link to the right.)
Snow update
On April 18, it snowed about 10-15 cm at our place in only a few hours (I'll spare you another snow picture - I have one if you're interested, though). Derek was cycling on the north shore and returned to a snow-covered car. (I know, who cycles in the snow?!) It took a few days to completely melt and, aside from some hail, the weather has been pretty normal. We've actually bought some flowers and might work up the courage to plant them soon.

Current Reads
- Jodi's reading The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. It's a fascinating look at both recent and the early roots of neuroscientific research in the plasticity of the brain. Doidge combines case studies with researchers and their work to provide an intriguing glimpse into the human brain. Jodi is also doing some reading in French phonetics, and is enjoying The Princess Diaries, volume 7.
- Derek's reading Ian Rankin's Set in Darkness. Number 11 of the series with DI Rebus mixes legend, murder old and new, and the new (in 1999) Scottish Parliament. He's alternating this book with James Rollins' The Black Order, an intriguing, fast-paced action adventure sci-fi mystery.
