Angstrom, etc.

We were in Pittsburgh from Thursday evening through this morning. Here are a few catch-up pictures, mostly of Angstrom. I'll be doing a separate post of baseball pictures after I'm home and have had time to go through them all.

Meanwhile we get Angstrom climbing stairs,

visiting the Greenfield neighborhood block party
(where we watched a Cornhole tournament),
and posing with a Pittsburgh Pirate pierogi.

At the Pirates game, he spent time with everybody,


but enjoyed his time with his grandmother the most.

Angstrom, Again

Dinner with Angstrom

We're in Pittsburgh with Jesse, Aurora, and Angstrom.

He enjoys his food; for more on what he eats, visit Corduroy Orange.

Great Nephew Henry (updated)

We're in D.C., visiting Jo and also Henry, Jenay, and Steve.

Henry has the altitude but hasn't yet quite coordinated the hand and foot movements required to crawl.

Everything he sees goes into his mouth.

And he seems to enjoy swimming.

A Pilgrimage to berryline

Inspecting the product (berryline).

Feeding herself, at her own pace.

Good to the last drop.

Happy Anniversary

Today is our 42nd wedding anniversary. I can't believe she's put up with me all that time. We celebrated by having dinner at the Blue Heron in Sunderland, MA.

Tornado Clean up & a Birthday Party

Trinity Church organized teams to clean yards, install plywood, and provide food this afternoon. I was overhead, part of a team that was looking for additional tasks and taking a few pictures. Very few, actually, since I felt very self-conscious being a gawker in an area where only workers were welcome.

Later CL and I went to Tip's 28th birthday party; Tip was one of her students 10-12 years ago.

Smoked Chicken

Last night we had friends over for dinner, and I smoked a couple chickens. Slightly overcooked, but nevertheless a delicious experiment.
