David and Gina, and Kyla and Cassidy came up to San Francisco this weekend to celebrate Chinese New Year with Gina's family. We had a good time with all, including a wonderful Chinese Banquet to which Susan Luo and Frank Luo graciously invited Bill and me to attend. We took all to a children's opera film of the Elixir of Love at the SF Opera, and Kyla keeps asking to see an opera again - yeah, another opera lover! We played with Kyla and Cassidy for a couple of afternoons, including enjoying a Croque Monsieur (grilled cheese to them) at one of our favorite sidewalk cafes Chouquet's http://www.chouquets.com/ 
We're traveling to North Carolina tomorrow to stay with Bill's sister Betty for a week - going through Chicago right after the blizzard. Nice choice of routing, not!!
