Monday

Yeah, so the spooling-up of the blog has been on the ineffective side of the Gettin'-it-Done O'meter.  No excuses.  As the tower chief said to Maverick, "The pattern is full".

I would be severely deficient if I didn't at least get a couple of pics up today in honor of 2.  As it is her birthday, you are Daughter of the Day, Kiddo!!

We did do a nice BBQ at her place in Iowa City last night.  We test-drove a pretty decent bottle of Bordeaux in our Summer-long effort to acclimate ourselves to the Bordeaux vintages before our arrival there in September.  I'm betting that a Russian hacker could be employed to get us all a link to her new Fitbit to keep the fam apprised of her post-surgery rehab progress.

One of the topics of discussion over wine was the prospect of an extended family reunion in 2016.  Tahoe Phil and I had talked a little about the idea earlier this year, but we both thought this might be a job for the cousins to orchestrate.  In the chat last night, Kansas City was the leading candidate for the destination.  The Midwest folks could drive to KC, and it makes the travel time a lot easier on the East coast contingent.  2 and RevKev maybe the prime movers to get something on the calendar.  Go for it!

All for now.  I just wanted 2 to have a bit of the spotlight.  Hope its a great day!
