It is kind of sad that peoples homes are burning around LA and and I'm just thinking of my flight being canceled.  The house that my wife grew up in (and her dad built -- he is a contractor) probably burned in these fires.  It was on David Way in the foothills in San Bernardino and backed up to the Waterman Canyon.  Her family no longer owns it but it is sad to think that it is gone.

Argh!  My flight has been canceled.  LAX is apparently a mess.  SriramS and I are hanging out in the bar near C8 in SEA so come by and say hi.  We are sitting in the back corner, both wearing blue shirts (differnt shades). We are supposedly booked on a flight out of here at 6 to Portland.  And then from there to LAX arriving after midnight. I've heard that Hillel Cooperman (who is giving our demo as part of the keynote) is in flight trouble also.

Here is a picture of me  and Sriram

[Update: Kerry (whose hands you can see here) is coming to join us!.  Fil probably will also after his flight is delayed.] 

[Update 2: Now (9pm) in Portland scheduled to leave at midnight to arrive in the wee early hours!]
