I had a surprise visit from my brother Eugene and his wife Heidi this week. They were here just one night, stopping by on their way to Georgia. It was good to catch up with them a little bit. We spent most of Monday evening trying to get Eugene’s new (never used) wireless PCI card to access the internet via my dial-up connection shared over wireless. It took most of the evening, and finally I decided that going from my Dell’s dial-up connection, over ethernet to my PowerBook, and then to Eugene’s laptop over wireless, was too complicated. So I switched things around so my PowerBook was on the dial-up directly, and it worked great.

Here’s a picture of the happy couple:

On Tuesday we ate lunch together at Earth’s Harvest. I learned via my brother that a local girl named Michelle Wilson is organizing a Midwest Youth Conference, a regional GYC-style gathering for Seventh-day Adventist youth and young adults in the Midwest. Later I talked to Michelle, and it looks like I may be helping in various ways. I am a major GYC fan, having been to every GYC since the start. I think it is a great movement, and look forward to participating directly.
