labor day

Back in 'Nap. Spent yesterday playing Catan with the fam, followed by a lovers vs. brothers game of bocce ball. I'm staring down a heavy barrel of Actual Work but it was nice to relax after all the work-travel. (Although my trip did include a brief spell in SF, which was mostly hectic but also allowed for some QT with parents, wine at the Masonic Manse, and breakfast with Kelli and Matthew. It felt great to see them all, like getting a fierce shot of home in the arm).

Today is Labor Day, and the tractor is learnin' the cityboy.


"That kid was born to cut," said my Uncle Tim, nodding appreciatively.
