Good 'ol USA for Christmas

Nothing is more relaxing than visiting 3 cities, all your families, many good friends and stockpiling empty suitcases with American goodies in a 2 1/2 week period. But we wouldn't trade a moment of it. And we're super grateful for everyone who made time to see us, especially those lucky folks who got to host our tornado of suitcases.

As we're experiencing jetlag, we're keeping the blogging short and have photo tour of Atlanta, Portland, and Los Angeles for you. So, click here for the pics.

Argentina: Buenos Aires es muy bueno

4 days in Buenos Aires, slept about 7 hours total. I was there for work, and despite the long hours, I didn't want to leave. I'm still thinking of opening an office that accepts payments in bottles of Dulce de Lece, the truest thing to edible nirvana on this earth. Of course I would wash it down with an Argentinian steak....muy, muy bien.

Before heading home, we went to a game at the Yankee stadium of Argentinian soccer to see the home team Boca (Diego Maradona's club) defeat San Lorenzo in the most electric atmosphere I've ever seen for any sporting event in my life.

Here's a 30 second video of the madness of a true south american soccer match:

Niece Alert .... welcome Madi!

Huge news in the Jacobson family .... we finally have a grandbaby, a niece, a daughter! Chels and Randy welcomed sweet baby Madison Frances to this world on Halloween Eve, she weighed in at 6 pounds, 13 ounces. Chels was a rock star and somehow managed a short labor, in which she was talked to me both 30 minutes before and after giving birth. She needs to be the new postermom for convincing other women it really isn't that bad.
