We had a slow start to the holiday.
But in the valley sun, the party doesn’t start until evening.
And so, Happy Independence Day!

Nine beautiful, wonderful, grace filled years. Love you, Lucia, to the moon.
Happy Father’s Day, folks
We had the cheapest and best celebration at one of the city pools.

Thankfully I do not need to adjust to the weather. Flying back to sunny, and much warmer, Tempe this afternoon. Great conference at Notre Dame this weekend. I’ll be back.
