The Merkles got back from the UK for the summer, and so we had our first unified sabbath dinner since last October. Afterwards, we lined them up on the deck in birth order and took some pics.
A Little Fun Over At Femina
My daughter-in-law is having a little fun over at Femina. When the contest is over, I will, if necessary, defend myself. And while I am on the same general subject, let me say that the best song I downloaded this year was Mark Knopfler’s Song for Sonny Liston. And I also really liked Jakob Dylan’s Something …

Cupboards Appearance in Spokane
This must be the season for shameless appeals. For our friends in the Spokane area, here is a reminder that Nate is going to be at Auntie’s Bookstore tonight (Wednesday, May 14th) at 7:30 pm, for a book signing. The store is one of my favorites, one I try to get to whenever I am in Spokane. …
