How the heck did you pick Homer, AK for a summer place? Very un-vc'ish spot. The thing this post makes me most want to ask. How the heck did you pick Homer, AK for a summer place?

At UCLA, it's the TA's that have office hours, with the problem being that most of them speak very limited Engish. One time, I went to a TA's office hours with my friend Vera, who had moved from Korea when she was 17. While the TA was explaining the solution to a problem, everybody broke into Mandarin, and luckily I had Vera there to translate for me. I don't think this is the ideal office hours concept.

The short version is that my wife grew up 20 miles from Homer. We've gone to Alaska every year for the past 15 years (well - except last year). We don't have any family up there, but we love just chilling out. Do a search on Homer (or click on the Alaska category link on the right) and you'll see a bunch of reasons.
