Weil Family Holiday Update, Dec.'98

(Click the links at the top or bottom of this page for mini photo albums of the Weil family.)

After a very eventful year, and more than 10 years of being involved in the online/Internet medium, we've decided not only to bring back the holiday newsletter, but also to deliver our 1998 greetings and news on the web! It's about time we *really* use the medium we've been evangelizing, eh? :-)

Our biggest news is that we've moved to Columbus, Ohio, and yes, we are doing just fine. Suburbia must look virtually the same across the country. Our neighborhood was land-of-the-lawyers in VA and is land-of-the-doctors here in Columbus; we've got a pond, lots of bike paths, and a wonderful country club in biking distance; otherwise, it looks the same as Virginia! The local community spirit is strong here; the Friday night high school football game is the place to catch up with neighbors and be seen. Columbus folks have been very welcoming and friendly, and we are settling in.

We snagged a house on a great cul de sac (with kids close to our boy's ages on both sides of us -- yes!), and we are busily redecorating the interior, re- landscaping the exterior, and building a large addition on the side. We've never lived in a home under construction....should be, ah, well....interesting. They break through the wall on both levels the first of the year, and I have visions standing in my bathrobe in the cold talking to the workmen each morning. Yikes!

Our boys are great, and we've included many pictures of them throughout the site. They are still really good buddies, and moving has brought them even closer together. While they've still not left the Power Rangers behind completely, Jake and Brian have switched their allegiance somewhat and are now serious sports enthusiasts. They are ready to watch any football game any time; the local Ohio State Buckeyes and Green Bay are favorites. I'm called on enough for my opinion that I actually am learning a bit more about the game....Mom has to "get in the game" or get left behind!

After a wonderful summer off, polishing up his golf game, Ken is now working for Victoria's Secret Catalogue, running their ecommerce site on the Internet. It just launched and sales are strong; go check it out! www.VictoriasSecret.com. Audrey is enjoying work at CompuServe, helping create the "start up" spirit and generate momentum for this new brand in the AOL, Inc. line up. The new version, CompuServe 2000, is shipping very shortly....be among the first to try it by previewing the beta version now! Email Audrey at AudreyW@cs.com for a copy.

It's been another wonderful year for us. We hope you are doing well, and will stay in touch. Come visit us in Columbus anytime.....although winter visitors should expect to wear hard hats!

All the best,

Audrey & Ken, Jake & Brian
