Rock A By Baby in Your Hotel Bed

...a 5.1M earthquake will jostle your head.  Just laying in my bed here in Christchurch, trying to get some rest for an early day tomorrow when along comes a 5.1M earthquake to shake things up a bit.

Just another day at the office...

    If only we would've talked for just a little bit longer. I could've been part of the earthquake! Dang.

    Wow - we are so close, because I totally knew that you were literally as far away from Utah as possible. Let me know when you're back and we can catch up.

    I have the coolest brother...and I'm just a LITTLE jealous of all your travels (okay, completely jealous). Be safe and see you in a few...weeks that is!
