Party Time

After giving a toast to the new couple, I settled back at our table at the front of the room to enjoy the sight of all six of my children and all six of my grandchildren dancing together late into the night. The four little boys -- James, Luca, Leif and Oliver -- brought the house down with their front row performance dressed in suits and sunglasses and those night light circles, whatever they are called, rocking late into the night.

Let's call it a Weir-Tiglao-Comolli tradition.

Somebody please get this up on YouTube!

Wedding in Seattle

 First the groom.

 Then the bride.

Then together.

Yesterday's wedding in Seattle was one of the loveliest I have ever witnessed.

Cloudy Saturday Morning...

...but according to my trusty weather app, the sun will break through starting around 3 p.m., just in time for Peter and Claire's wedding.

The kids are sleeping in here in our rental unit. I'm drinking coffee, sorting photos, and soon will read the New York Times and Washington Post online. a daily ritual.

Here are some photos of the place where we're staying:

On a beautiful evening here in Seattle, a large number of the guests for Peter and Claire's wedding tomorrow gathered at a lovely beach park not far from here. The kids and grandkids and Peter's high school friends and Claire's relatives and friends partied for hours on the edge of Puget Sound.

Aidan, Dylan, Julia and Zaira spent some exceptionally active time on the beach building a sand castle and covering one another (the little ones) with sand.

Tomorrow are the big events -- the wedding and the reception!

Touring U-W

I took my first Uber and Lyft rides today -- the traffic in Seattle is too heavy and confusing, even with GPS, to hazard. Julia is applying to the University of Washington, so we signed up for a tour. Zaira came with us.

It's a beautiful place I've visited before but this was their first time. A highlight is the Graduate Library, an enormous hall with a enormous ceiling and stained-glass windows all around. The campus also is green and shady and huge.
