Our youngest two had their last homecoming at the high school. The Demons were victorious, and it appears our kids had a blast!

My oldest daughter gifted me a Pacific Crest Trail coffee table book for my birthday. I thought it was just neat, until I opened it and found out she had annotated almost every page with additional comments about our hike together and cut-outs of her photos. Someday I’ll live in a facility with no coffee table…but I’m never giving up this book!

Auntie Max (my sister and editor) came for a visit after her Academy reunion and were able to show her the last vestiges of leaf-turning season and celebrate her birthday. She also managed to get COVID during her Colorado visit but fortunately kept it to herself!

My better half retired from her airline job in July but obviously does not plan on sitting around and watching me write. She just got hired on as a medevac pilot in Grand Junction, CO flying the PC-12 and the King Air 200.
