how is september halfway done?

1. Josh turned 44. We had a house full of people. Josh's cousin and his wife who currently live in DC came to visit, his sister came to visit, Emma came for the weekend, and our Atlanta friends (D & J & kids) came, too. It was wonderful!

His cousin's wife has worked for NPR off-and-on for twenty years, and I very much enjoyed all the name dropping and peeks behind the curtain.

Josh's favorite gift was a personalized video message from the announcer of BattleBots. Emma and D conspired on this one. A+++ work

2. ( books what I have read )
