Celebration



Here are some of the grandkids at today's party -- a party that used to be called a baby shower -- at Peter and Clarie's house.

The new little girl who is to join our family is due in about five weeks.

As I have grown older, I have realized how blessed I am. I am not rich, far from it, but when it comes to the people who love me I am the richest man in the world.

Surprises

Yesterday, out of the blue, my youngest texted me that she was listening to our latest Bay Curious podcast, "East Bay Walls." I didn't know she was even aware of this work, let alone would spend time with it.

She's in college near Baltimore, starting her sophomore year. Her probable major is Peace Studies. I've been contacting friends about informational interviews she might be able to get to explore career options in that field, which are numerous in the D.C. area.

It gives me great pleasure imagining my daughter traveling the world, trying to help make it a better place.
