Scenes From A Vacation
Our 15-day West Coast holiday has been a wonderful and warm experience. I’ll have more, eventually, from this sun-washed journey. Until then, here are some scenes, from the nearly 1000 photos taken, from the past 2 weeks.

First and a Half Grader
The Bear is officially finished with 1st grade. But she insists that she isn’t a 2nd grader. Not until classes begin again on August 15th (yeah, less than 2 months for summer break). I have dubbed her a First and a Half Grader. She’s happy with that. Feel free to […]

My gang spent 6+ hours outdoors beneath the sorta sun at Sesame Place on Saturday. Accuweather promised sunnyside up skies, but instead we frolicked under a plate of scrapple (it’s a Philly thing, you wouldn’t understand).
