We're Back!

Agnes and I spent the last few days out in Dayton, Ohio, visiting our more far-flung grandchildren. And their parents, too. Highlights included:

- Three performances by granddaughter Marcy with the Beavercreek High School Marching Band, including a competition at Troy High School at which they won first place in their division and were named grand champions.

- Watching grandson Noah get his hustle on at his Saturday morning soccer game ...

- Attending the Beavercreek Popcorn Festival to celebrate the traditional hardening of the arteries*, at which the marching band also performed ... 

- Being able to spend some time with two-thirds of our grandchildren ...

And visiting the National Museum of the United States Air Force with my son Jason ...

Life is, indeed, good.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
