Hot day on the river
last update: 08/28 @ 22:12

The thermometer in the car said 93 as I headed to Angler’s Inn. It was hot in sun but the water felt good (I had to rinse an ant colony out of my boat so that was a great excuse to just stand in the water for a few minutes).

Pretty day, but hot. I read in the paper over half the days in August have been above 90 and today was one more.

Robert, back in school, was doing homework. Sarah, after a busy week, was enjoying her book.

First Day of School!!!
last update: 08/24 @ 21:58

Robert started his senior year today!!!

Crazy how time flies (and how kids grow).

We’re really looking forward to in-person, full-time school for his senior year. Last year was just too crazy…

You can tell by the smile that Robert was ready to get back in school and see his friends in-person; it’s been too long.

I expect we’ll all be holding our breath as the Delta variant of Covid-19 is slamming the city, country and world. At least for Alexandria, the 7 day rolling average of new cases does not seem to be going up as fast as it was last fall and winter.

Here’s the traditional look back:

• 2020
• 2019
• 2018
• 2017
• 2016
• 2015
• 2014
• 2013
• 2012
• 2011
• 2010
• 2009
• 2008

Another beautiful day

Sarah and I got back to Angler’s Inn this afternoon. Robert is getting over a summer cold and napped most of the afternoon away. We’ll get him back out before schoot starts.

The collection
last update: 08/01 @ 14:26

Or, the collection as of now…

Most are Robert’s but there are a couple snuck in that Sarah or I built.

Robert felt it would be best to leave off the London bus and tuktuk, but I felt it adds to the variety.

Not all this year, but mostly from this year. The mustang at the back is clearly most impressive.

Perhaps some ideas for Christmas…
