We spent the weekend at my parents’ place in Wisconsin. It was a beautiful fall weekend, a little cold, but not too much. The chickens: Dan showing b.g. all the tractors in the barn Here he is showing Tim how to hold a golf club. Normally Tim smacks the ground ahead of the ball so

First lunch, then the rest of the day in the backyard. This is funny though. Little Jay perched on that stool near the phone and b.g. was complaining about something. Little Jay turned to him and said, “Dude. You’re naked and eating pizza. What more could you want out of life?” Oh, Jay, Jay. And
