Yeah, let's let Tony's thread be the marker. Robin or I can make the list available to you.
Did you see the pic David took of you telling Emmett the joke? It is one I will treasure for years to come!
Great meeting you and Jen, what a lucky man you are to have her in your life. She brightened up the place.

Gene, my brother!
I haven't seen that pic yet. I'm dying to! (We were all told that in order to guarantee a smile from Emmett during a picture, you need to tell him a joke. I decided to tell a surrealist joke: "What's the difference between a soccer ball? A bird, because a vest has no sleeves." The look on his face, apparently, was quite something.)
Jen is the light of my life. I would say that she had a great sense of humor and a high tolerance, what with hanging out with Stick players all week, but while that is certainly true, the reality is that she's very warm, very kind, and open to new experiences, and she honestly had a really great week and enjoyed herself. She was quite enamored of Dale, and I can't wait to show the photo of Jen wearing and noodling on Dale's Stick. It's priceless. And, believe it or not, Jen is actually considering having a Stick of her own. (Although now I'll always be envious of Steve A, because she touched HIS Stick before she ever touched mine - which he was only too tickled to say.)
I think the biggest thing (and I have to be brief here, as it's morning dog feeding and I have to open up in 30 minutes) we both came away with is such a sense of FAMILY. It absolutely radiates from Emmett and Yuta; Jen and I fell in love with them, really. And to see their own interactions with the people closest to them ... you just get it. And they are only too happy to have you as a part of it.
Wow.
