Ron started a job at Yahoo! in Santa Monica as a front-end engineer. (He LOVES it) And I am content so far with my job as a Development Scientist at Beckman-Coulter. As the title of ... http://www.cindyandron.com/blog/wordpress/?p=20 So it’s been almost two months since we arrived in SoCal and a lot has happened. Mary and Hyun and Hanel were great to us and we ended up imposing on their hospitality longer than I had expected. Six Weeks. They were wonderful and we were really ... http://www.cindyandron.com/blog/wordpress/?p=19 We had stayed in a hotel outside of Tucson and got ourselves up and out of there pretty early to head up to Arcosanti. It’s some weird achitect’s vision in the desert….always under construction and inhabited by artists and transients. From there we took a southwest course through ... http://www.cindyandron.com/blog/wordpress/?p=18 We awoke and packed up our tent, then took a brief hike in the park.

Ron and I headed south towards Memphis, and stopped on the way at Mammoth Caves in Kentucky. The longest network of caves in the world (or something like that). I had been there several times as a kid, but this was Ron’s ... http://www.cindyandron.com/blog/wordpress/?p=13 Kicked around the hometown this day and spent a little more time with the folks. My Dad set off the smoke alarms preparing what was probably the most delicious steak ever. Mmmmmm. http://www.cindyandron.com/blog/wordpress/?p=11 After lounging around with Rich Heather and Ethan for a while in the morning, we said goodbye to our gracious hosts and headed for Columbus, Ohio. We enjoyed a brief but great visit with Christine and Jen and David and met Bella for the first time. We had to ... http://www.cindyandron.com/blog/wordpress/?p=10
