Hi there,

This time I'm writing from a hotel overlooking Disneyland. Last time that happened was a year and a half ago. It was a different time. We were celebrating a wedding and Kathie was still here. I wandered down to Downtown Disney after I checked in at the hotel and it was strange to be there on my own. I remembered being there first with Hannah, Kathie, Dorothy and my family. Then being there last year with Kathie, Allie and the Hamilton clan for Brian and Corine's wedding. There were many memories that made me a little sad. I can remember Hannah dancing in front of Tortilla Joes after dinner, and shopping at Build a Bear with Allie and Kathie. It was strange to be walking around on my own but at the same time, it was good to be back there and have the first trip back. I do want to go back with Allie sometime so it was OK to get it done on my own.

Now I'm here to attend Blizzcon. It's fan convention put on by Blizzard Entertainment for fans of the games the company makes. I'm not  quite sure what I'm expecting but from what I saw wandering around the area today, it will be a strange, wonderful ride. I'll try to get on and write a little of my experiences through the weekend.

As a reminder, we have the foundations fall fundraiser coming on Nov 7th. put that date aside. we'll be making some announcement soon.
