Graduation Day
Hello everyone! Many goals and dreams have come to fruition this spring. I have graduated with my PhD in Biochemistry, Chemical Biology; which is the next stepping-stone to my future. Both my family and I endured significant sacrifice and contributed extensive effort to reach this goal, but I am excited for the prospects for research in molecular structure analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. I have barely had a chance to catch my breath, and now I need to work on my aspiration to find my “five year” postdoc home and become a NSF or NIH fellow. Many best wishes to you and keep in touch, thanks!

Hello everyone From Snowy Houston!
We got about 2.5 to 3.0 inches of snow on December 11! and the kids played late into the night. The kids built a 7 foot tall snowman. We need to build a ramp from 2x4 and plywood in order to roll the large snow ball up into the middle position. The kids have been having a great holiday. Grama was able to come early and see the kids Christmas programs, and Grampa should be here later today (driving from sunny California). I have been working on the house, fixing thing up from the damage from Ike. We have roof, ceilings, and floors to get redone. Our family was very blessed though the storm, because our damage is relatively minor compared to our neighbors in Kemah, or Seabrook. The houses across the street from Elizabeth’s school had 5 to 8 feet of water in them!
Elizabeth has advanced to the district science fair with her project titled “PI in 2000 BC”. I think that she has enjoyed doing mathematical constructions with a compass and ruler using and improving methods developed by the Babylonians and the Egyptians. John finished up band with their winter concert and Hannah is just starting her basketball season.
I have been writing my thesis and planning my postdoc activities. Michelle has continued to work in the ER’s at the hospitals.
This letter has seemed to come out in reverse chronological order… so Summer was spent with kids going to Kansas and John going to Colorado church trip retreat. I finished up some research NMR structures and methods.
In the Spring, John won the Houston Super Regional Science Fair in Biology and advanced to the State Fair in San Antonio. Elizabeth has begun her confirmation. And Hannah rounded out her first year of school.
Jacob, of course has been a little rascal, now at 4 years old! He has been changing so fast. Now he will swim with dad and will independently dive under water, or he will hold on Dad’s shoulders as he swims laps or dives to the bottom of the pool.
Best Wishes for the Christmas Season and May God Bless You!

Not so CHARMMed,
Well NAMD is giving me problems after about half of the initial equilibriation. I get an error message the some number related to the patch box for PME calcs is too small. I have googled it and see lots of people have had the same problem, but I have not seen a good solution or explaination. It is beginning to get annoying.

All of Friends in Houston have Power Again
Well, all of the people that I know in Houston have their power back as of last Friday. Obviously many of my daughters friends are still in desperate conditions having lost everything (with up to 3 to 5 feet of water in their houses). Here is a picture a block from Elizabeth's school where every house was submerged from the Ike surge.

We Have Power!
Just to give you an update, we got power (but I have not turned on the AC yet). That has been nice so we can watch the news. About half of the people that I know still have no electricity. Thanks for your thoughts and we feel very blessed that we did not loose more than we did. Michelle used the extra time to clean the garage and John and Elizabeth have been working on their science fair projects.
Thanks Again.

Lots of Damage Nearby from Hurricane Ike
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:35:50
Well we still have no power, but the weather is cool. We are one mile from clear lake and three miles from kemah / seaabrook. I have only seen a little news but that 1 mile made all the difference as you can see on the news/internet. I pray for all the people that lost everything. Our neigbor is letting friends use their house because they had evacuated to Austin, and the friends could not get into seabrook. We have helped neigbors cut up trees, etc but otherwise have tried to stay out of officials way.
Best always.
