Joel arrived in La Crosse on Saturday and won't head back to California until Monday morning for his normal weekly commute to Sacramento, CA.  That means we will be in the same time zone for over a week.  Usually him being in a different time zone isn't a big deal, but while he was in India, it was a bit of a challenge.  He was 11 and a half or 10 and a half hours ahead of us in Wisconsin.  The best time for us to connect was mid-morning for me and late evening for him.  That being said I appreciate him being home and next week I'm sure I will appreciate him being only two zones away as well.
