Eliana was sick after Winter Break, but we had a good time in California during the vacation. Highlights: visiting Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lauren and Uncle Glenn and going to the Californai Academy of Sciences.
A dicussion of the relative merits of Twilight and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Eliana makes some very cool observations. Props to Joss Whedon!

Episode 008: It's Sodalicious!

In a "very special" episode of BoulderFaD, we are joined by Mom and Daniel for a taste-testing of the Chanukah soda pack from Jones Soda. They also have novelty soda packs for Christmas and Thanksgiving, but we didn't try those (our bravery only extends so far).

Our conclusion: A nice novelty gift idea, but perhaps not the sort of thing one would drink on a regular basis.
