There She Is!

Number 43 in the center of the action today in Saratoga. Her team lost, 0-2, but played hard. She played well. I'm conscious that she may not choose to keep playing much longer, especially once she moves away to bearding school in Napa this fall.

So I am enjoying these opportunities while they last.

Happy Birthday, Youngest Son!

Dylan is back in Missoula and Aidan is taking him out to dinner at the Italian place we ate at last October. It's a short walk from campus. They both sound well. I love the idea of them celebrating his birthday at that restaurant.

With his beard and his tattoos (long narratives on the inside of both arms), and his height, people may mistake him for older than he actually is. But what a brilliant, charming, loving young man he truly is.

And here the birthday boy is, in real time! (Thanks, Aidan.)

Rainy Day

 I woke up this morning to the comforting sound of a soft rain outside. This parched area really needs water in any form we can get it, as we are in the midst of an historic drought.

With my youngest son at the baseball game Thursday night, when news that some rain might be coming came our way. He loves the rain. I love the rain. These days, almost everyone in California loves the rain...
