hot fun in the summer time

a couple of weeks ago lu & i took the girls to the five friends from japan exhibit at the creative discovery museum

pb lunch.jpg
we started out with lunch at the pickle barrel--hanging out on the deck at the pb is a totally different experience now than it was fifteen years ago when laura & i used to be regulars there!

the littles loved the part of the exhibit that let them pretend to play on a japanese playground

speaking of 2006 graduates, j. successfully defended his thesis this week, so raise a glass to him at your earliest convenience.

i have a couple of weeks left in my first semester of graduate school, so it's like he's passing the torch. best i can tell, graduate school is largely about producing massive amounts of work in insanely short amounts of time. is that about the size of it?

coming soon...b and finny frolic about town
