9 22 pm pdt [ walking again ]

We have to move the rest of Matthew's stuff over this weekend.

It feels so good! On my walk tonight, as the day waned, I liked the look of this building:

three years ago today: The weather is hot and I am working long hours.

one year ago today: I think most parents think about vacations backwards. Get a really nice hotel room and then be happy spending a lot of time there. That is Matthew's and my view of an ideal vacation.
