I see that it has been a while.
Nothing much is happening here. Spring is in the air, we had a household COVID experience (Cook's first, somehow!), baseball season has begun in earnest. I went to Arizona to see my mom and a bunch of javelinas. (And some vermilion flycatchers, which I am now certain are the most adorable bird.) Life goes on. Skipper continues to resolutely apply herself to the job of teenagering. She yearns for the removal of her braces, and rolls her eyes when her English teacher says her short story "lacks passion." Duchess continues to apply herself to the job of colleging, with all the joys and challenges attendant to young adulthood. She'll be home for part of the summer, and we look forward to her return, even temporarily. While the triangular family configuration is satisfying and delightful in its own right, it'll be nice to revert to the square.
