National Jandals Day

Hey all,

Happy National Jandals Day from the land of wacky holidays!!! For those of you who have no idea what a Jandal is (I had to ask), it's a flip flop. So here it is, Friday December 7th. National Flip Flop Day. So here at Dave's work things have gotten even more casual than normal. I personally didn't think it was possible. Just about everyone here today is wearing shorts, t-shirts and flip flops. If you don't believe me you can see for yourself... http://www.nationaljandalday.co.nz/ Of course, I forgot that I had a meeting with the Regional Transit agency this morning. Luckily I brought a pair of back up shoes.

Also to get everyone in the festive spirit here at Opus, they have instituted the 12 days of OPUS Christmas. I'll have to figure out a way to post the schedule on here but it includes a BBQ (yeah, summer Christmas), gift giving, and a coloring contest (who can color (sorry, colour) the best picture of David Hasselhoff, not kidding!)

In other news, Drea and I witnessed a rather bizarre episode last night. There was an ambulance driving slowly throughout the neighborhood with its sirens blaring every few seconds. The ambulance personel were jumping out of the ambulance and running up to every house and knocking on doors. We were a little disconcerted until we found out what it was. Any guesses??

That's right, it was a canned food drive.

Anyway, we're off to Christchurch where Drea is going to compete in the NZ national coed ultimate frisbee championships. I, unfortunately, am still on injured reserve. In exciting news, I did go for my very first run since my ankle sprain last night. And it has never felt so good to run.

Love to all,
Dave and Andrea
