Mom says Allison (who works at the Wake Forest gift shop just off the quad and has become Mom’s friend) came out and explained that she has directed the grounds folks to bring in any buttons that fall from the tree. Then she hangs them back up. What a wonderful gift to our family. Thanks, Allison.

We celebrated Grandpa’s 90th birthday yesterday. It was a really nice time – great to see family and get to celebrate such a lovely man.

This gives an impression of the group but I must say I was heartbroken when I got home and realized the remarkably poor quality of this photo.

Happy Birthday Grandpa. Love, Amy

I’m out in Las Vegas at the National Association of Broadcasters conference (better known as NAB). Yesterday was a whirlwind of flight and touring the exhibits and meeting with vendors. Though there are many vendors and Vegas sites I’d like to fit in, at least today I get to set the pace.

Camera vendors have these live scenes going on for folks to use to test out the cameras. Not a bad gig for these actors who are on their cell phones, playing games or chatting with other actors all day.

I heard a lot of “they asked me to do that” jokes from the masses of tech-geeks attending.

UPDATE: Here are a few more photos from the trip.

Joe Biden thinks it is a big deal too.
