I'll start with saying that I think this is an awesome idea and kudos Dad for getting it started! Life in San Francisco has taken a real up-swing this semester and things couldn't be better. I just started my second job working for JCrew. It makes my weekends a little hectic but hey thats part of the fun. Its also nice to see some real progress being made in my classes and hopefully two drawings I have been working on will be accepted into the Spring Show that our school holds every year. There are thousands of submissions and only a few hundred pieces actually get in so if I luck out it would be a big honor. So here's to hoping.
I just got back from Lugano a couple of weeks ago (thank you again Grandma and Dad for making it possible.) It was pretty unforgettable and hands down one of the greatest two weeks ever. The main draw was the bi-annual Caribbean Conference hosted by my professor and friend Dr. McCormick. It was fantastic! The keynote speaker was Maryce Conde who was absolutely inspiring and all together incredible. The first time I met her my friend Scott and I could barely form coherent sentences we were so nervous. Anyways you all should check out some of her books, Segu and I, Tituba being her most famous. I am about to start reading Segu. The real exciting news is that I had a long conversation with a Dr. McLeod of the University of Leeds in Yorkshire who saw my lecture on the book Geographies of Home and who is the head of the Caribean Literature Masters program and he wants me to stay in touch and ultimately apply to the school. It would be huge considering Leeds is one of the best schools for that subject. Granted there aren't a ton of schools specializing in Caribbean Literature but it is exciting nonetheless.
So that is what is going on right now for me. I am most excited though to be able to hop on the Bart in the next couple of days and see little Aidan for the first time. Again a big congratulations to Kelly and John! I hope all is well with everyone and cheers to the new family blog!

Okay...so alex was able to post as Alex so I think the Author invites worked...or at least one did.
I am glad to know that San Francisco doesn't totally suck anymore...it would kinda put a hit on our family background if it did.
Now tell me how we are going to combine caribean literature and 3 D animation art?
Love Dad
