This evening I took a walk in the rain.  It was just overcast and a bit of a sprinkle when I left the house, but I knew from the clouds continuing to roll in that it would soon get worse.  I know as well as everyone else that it’s not a good idea […]

I’ve been exercising 30 minutes a day, every day except Sundays, for more than 40 days now!  This is a huge change for previously unathletic me, and I’ve learned a couple of things in the process.  I thought I’d record my thoughts on the subject while I’m in a good mood so that […]

When my mother found out Maggie and I were going to be at our “family reunion” in DC, she said she wanted to pay to bring Degen and Colin.  So she bought them tickets and we’re all going to Washington, DC, for the graduation.  Yay!
The catch is that Colin can’t come as early as I […]

It looks like we’re moving to California!  We’ve been working on figuring out what to do job-wise when the school year ends for a while now, and last week Colin’s parents asked him to work at their print shop in MIll Valley, CA.  They also generously offered to let us live with them […]
