The Briggs Family Expansion

The Briggs family will be expanding 75% next Tuesday, as a new family from Iran joins us. This time (and I say this time because this isn't the first time it has happened) it's my wife's best friend, her husband and her 8-year-old son. My son is geeked to have a little brother. He's been making cards to help the new arrival learn English, and rearranging his room to fit another person.

I'm happy to have kids who welcome guests, and don't complain about leaving or sharing their room when new friends arrive. I know most people complain about house guests, but that's just not how it is around here. I mean, if you don't want people staying with you, why invite them in the first place?

On the geeky side of things, my wife's best friend is a computer programmer. I might tell her that to pay for meals, she needs to bust out some code for the site. I'm not sure Mrs. BBspot will go for that.

The new family will be staying here indefinitely. At least until they can get their feet under them. Surprisingly, I don't mind that either. Helping other people out, just feels good.

That's all for now. Stay geeky!
