Corvin spent the spring on a basketball team from three different schools. The team was actually pretty good and Corvin was an above average player. Most Saturday mornings, we were watching his team play. His number is 10 if you’re looking for him in the photos. Album Hogan Haake

Then this last October, I switched jobs and was exposed to a new database platform, Oracle.
