| February 23, 2009 | Elizabeth and Stephen Got Married |
 Chris' sister Elizabeth married Stephen Piccone on Feb 21, 2009 at the Chart House in Scottsdale, Arizona. Despite the fact that the make-up artist might've been on meth (the gal was completely unfocused, shaking, talking way too fast, incapable of styling hair as promised and kept running into the bathroom), Elizabeth looked gorgeous. Her daughter Zoe was the flower girl. I was the Maid of Honor. Chris was the DJ. The harp-est was wonderful, the geese were well-behaved, and the location was perfect. Excellent job, Strimbu clan!Labels: chris, elizabeth, strimbus, wedding posted by Jess Barron @ 9:03 PM

| December 1, 2006 | Goodbye 'Portal Shortall' |
 These past two weeks have been all over the place. I was up in Toronto to say goodbye to Greg Shortall (a.k.a. "portal Shortall") and to interview new editorial candidates for Yahoo!'s Canadian Broadband team. As Greg told the candidates we were interviewing to fill his vacated position, "Karaoke makes up about 18% of this job." How true! (Especially when I'm around.) The day after I returned to LA we moved into our new house (more on this soon), and my mom flew out to visit us from Boston one day later, and the very next day we drove six hours to Prescott, Arizona to see Chris' family for Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun and a lot of craziness. Labels: greg, job, karaoke, mom, prescott, strimbus, toronto, travel, work, yahoo posted by Jess Barron @ 6:02 AM
