Here we are with the whole Fam down in Costa Mesa - The whole
clan was over to meet Dodi! We had GREAT home cooked burritos and lots of fun
talking to everyone. Clockwise from Rex and Dodi:

| The picture you do not see here is a bleak one. After
dinner we went to the Convention Center to get tickets for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
We arrived at 8:30pm - We left at 12:30 am. The intervening time was spent
moving at a crawl through one of the longest lines Rex or Dodi has ever had the
displeasure of being stuck in. Blech. At about 11:00 Dodi faded out and went
to sleep the the car, leaving Rex holding the place. Without his book he would have
gone insane. There are two upshots to this bit. 1) We don't have any more line waiting to do for the next three days.

We rolled out into the chilly, overcast day at 7:40. Mom
and dad were there to wave goodbye. Everything was packed and we had a good night
sleep. Dodi drove the first leg of the journey down to the "Grapevine"
where we ate at Dennys. Then Rex took over the driving 'till we got to Rex's
Grandmother's house in Costa Mesa.
