This Week:

I turned 46.
I attended Phil Young’s memorial service. I saw many friends and colleagues, heard stories about Phil both old and new, and mourned the passing of a truly amazing man.
Sunday, my fam and I went to Cooperstown. We visited the Calvin and Hobbes exhibit at the Fenimore, at at the Doubleday Cafe, and did some window shopping (and some real shopping–I bought an 1897 edition of Archaeologica).
The rest of the week involved tidying up a few ends at work, and settling in for a long weekend.
Wednesday, we took the kiddos to see “Zootopia 2” which was as funny, charming, and subtly political as the first movie.
Alanna made a great dinner Thursday, and we had some friends over on Friday. Saturday we trekked to Albany to do some shopping and pick up some Trader Joe’s snacks. Sunday, we picked out a Christmas tree and got ourselves ready for the week.
