Virginia and I went to Columbus, Ohio, to visit Aunt Doris, who recently moved into a new place. VIrginia’s cousin Mary was there as well, and we had a great, extended (4-day) visit. Photos from our travels and visit.

Kelly came to work with me on Thursday, when we had garguantuan trainer and supremely good guy Dave Jack in town to shoot a series of exercise videos. Not only did Dave treat Kelly like a king, but he showed him how to arm-wrestle. And let him win. My favorite part is when they link…

We visited for two days with our friends Dan and Maryann, who vacation each summer with their friends Priscilla and John Frece, at Bethany Beach, Del.

But we caught some music (and the hippy vibe that suffuses K-town and is decidedly not us), met some new friends, drank their very nice wine, and watched a nasty…

I hadn’t played basketball but once in the last 6 weeks or so, rarely enough that soem of the guys at work were giving me a hard time if I’d EVER return to the Thursday game. I made my return Thursday, my team won 2 of 3 games, and, as you can see in the…
