8 January 2023

Our New Year started out right with a family call including Sofi and Nate from Washington and Abe from Busan. Abe is a time traveler and was already enjoying January 2. It was such a treat to connect with everyone, hear all the details of Nate proposing to Sofi and spend time together.


Brandan's colleagues decorated his office for his birthday.

We celebrated his birthday at home by trying out a new Mexican restaurant in town and having brownies and ice cream.

Here's Brandan's birthday problem. Becky made a slide show to go with it, describing a scenario where you need to use a code to get into a spaceship. The puzzle is to eliminate all of the wrong codes. Of course, the right answer is Brandan's age, but you can still solve it without knowing how old Brandan is.

Helen had some friends over on Friday night to play the Pride and Prejudice game and watch the Pride and Prejudice movie (the 2005 version with Keira Knightley). She made herself another birthday cake to share. We have an abundance of cake in our refrigerator and freezer right now: leftover Buche de Noel from Christmas, Helen birthday cake #1, birthday brownies and Helen birthday cake #2.
