 Toni, long-suffering organizer of the chronically
disorganized, proud mother of the groom, master of the dog, nurse of
the sick, care-package sender to the missionary, patient guide to
the teenager, and buff lady of the gym, gets licked awake by the dog
at 5 a.m.
Little did she know when she married a MacAskill that her
family's credo would become Never a Dull Moment.
"Occasionally, I'd like to relax" she sighs. The rest of the family
rushes by and says "huh?" |
 Don,
cyber studmuffin network engineer turned game designer, entrepreneur
and now programmer at Mightywords, has married his
gorgeous dream
girl and moved her to a new townhome in Mountain View.

Ben,
former Mormon missionary to Brazil, was infected by The Dreaded
Gamboo and found himself in a Brazilian oxygen tent with Dengue
fever, pneumonia, and candida, gasping for breath. The doctors
believed he had either cancer, HIV, or diabetes, but we were lucky:
he has an immune deficiency but no more (for now).
So he paces himself, as he ought, going to Foothill college part
time and rejuvinating himself with massive doses of games, IRC,
girls, good food, and movies. If those don't fix it, we don't know
what will.

 Cobi, horrible
hound of the house, is the single most coddled Lab on earth. Even
Ben, who does his very best to dislike dogs, can't help but sneak
affectionate pats while nobody is looking.
What other full-sized dog do you know who's owners don't have the
heart to get him off the bed when they sleep?

 Anne,
cookie
monster supreme, the peacemaker among our rowdy and motley crew,
adores the dog, sends instant messages all night long, plays soccer,
talks about boys on the phone, cooks cookies, and has great
sleepovers with her girlfriends, who spend the night talking about
boys. |
Eliz, formerly a very Italian Packard, now a Scottish
Lassie and fine MacAskill, attends Santa Clara University, dreams of
getting her Phd in Pyschology, and becoming a master photographer.
You can see the sweet nothings she wispers to Don at eliz.org.

 Mark, otherwise known as peach for keeping his
hair so short his head is fuzzy, is now a missionary to Italy for
two years who comes home in August of 2002. He spent a year at BYU
as a major party boy before being called to the disciplined
lifestyle that is missionary work.
He writes hilarious letters every week and we send care packages
fueled by Koolaid, chocolate, pop tarts and other death-defying
foods. |
Baldy, the soft dad who lets his kids get away with way
too much, lost his mind, rode his
motorcycle to Mexico alone, shaved his head the first day there,
and sent an email from Mexico City to announce the event.
"I can't believe he did it," moaned long-suffering and worried
wife Toni. "He just took his Norelco shaver and turned into a cue
ball!"
"Way to go Dad!", say the rest of the family. The dog Cobi loves
to lick it. He probably thinks it's a wound.
Editor's note: The poor man works too hard at Fatbrain.com, as former Mormon Bishop, as father
of four... Let him have some fun.
Bonus points: Who is Superman?
