This and That

I've been sweating away here in Saint Paul, without much to say lately.

We've been busy meeting nature where she lives -

going to the park,

the woods,

the zoo

and generally enjoying ourselves.

(Since it was the last day of soccer this week, the parents played a game. Yes, I made a triumphal return to soccer 22 years after my last game in gym class in 8th grade. My skills were just as good now as then, which is to say that I hung out by the goal and cowered whenever I saw the ball coming at my head. Sorry there weren't any photos of that for you out there, loyal readers)

We're deep in the laid-back sleepy days of summer.

I hope you are all enjoying your summers as well.
