Errantry: Novak's Journal

A quick picture synopsis of the visit today:

Haley meets Uncle (and Godfather) Joe: the biggest reaction any of us got, actually.





There are those who set trends:





And there are those who follow them:





Grandpa and Haley: I think this is actually my favourite picture that I've ever shot of Dad.





Grace having fun showing me the rain: "Uncle Mike! Rain! Waterfall!"

Serendipity.

Both mszimbolist and jucundushomo, who are not on each others' Friends list and, as far as I can tell, are unaware of each other's existence, both posted on their Live Journals tonight requests for addresses for anyone who wants a postcard as they are each heading out on (different) trips soon. Having never seen this request before (except a student once who asked me to do the same when I was traveling--her mother was then baffled when she saw in her daughter's mail a postcard of the Vatican sent from Tunisia), I am going to take it as a deeply meaningful hint being passed on to me through these agents of grace and therefore shall change my initial intent to save people time and sign up.

P.S.--Molly, please allow me to introduce Tim. Tim, Molly.

Lazy day so far. Up way too late (dawn) doing laundry, responding to email/comments, and reading more of the novel. Talked to Kevin as he was driving across the Wyoming desert--"Hey, I'm just passing the place where you took the Glimpse photograph!"--but he wandered into some dead zone, likely half of the state, and I lost the signal before the conversation got to the important stuff.

Cousin Ben is swinging by in an hour or so for to head on down to Summerfest. I guess we're catching some friends of his from 5:30-7:30, figuring out something to do for the next 2 1/2 hours (I wonder if they're having more fireworks tonight--I saw a considerable display last night as we drove in from Chicagoland), and then catching the Five For Fighting concert at 10.
