Catchup in Photos

Hi everyone,

Its been a long time since we’ve talked. Well since I’ve talked and you read. Since my last post I’ve spent several weeks in Connecticut with my sister and her family, visited Santa Barbara and all the folks there, had a lovely Christmas in Utah, got COVID and saw friends (family) in Sun Valley, and overall just imposed way too much on my cool friends and had an alltogether good time. Here is a huge dump of photos. I’ll try to knock out a post with some of the things I’ve been up to with more prose and less photos next.

Here’s some photos from Connecticut, both hiking and at the museum at Yale.

I also visited Shane and Sara in Philly, but the only photo I have with them is them thanking my sister for all the nice baby things she sent with me to give them.

Once I got to Utah I went hiking with Daniel, Alissa, and their dog Bernie.

We cooked an elaborate Friendsgiving feast. Count on Andrew to make us do everything the right way and not cut any corners.
