Hi, all-
Photos from yesterday’s family party for Aunt Jeanne are here. I did not realize how many photos I took until it was time to post them. Feel free to post your own photos on the share site.

P.S. Don’t you hope you look this good when you turn 90?
It’s hard to believe that my trip is already over and I am heading back to Boston tomorrow morning. I have been pretty busy with everything going on with the family. It was good to see everyone, and it was good to have the chance to see some of my friends that I had not seen in several years as well. Wow, so much has changed in just three years. Anyway, I managed to take some photos.

Right now there are a lot more important things going on in the world than this. Heck, there are more important things going on in OUR world than this. But with our impending wedding there is a LOT of pressure placed on me to look perfect. One of the things that has been coming up a lot lately is what I’m going to do about my hair.
Nope, that’s not the title of Geoff’s favorite WWII era submarine movie, it’s the radioactive iodine that’s going to be used to treat Smoky for his extreme hyperthyroidism.
Rerun is a truly special animal. If he was a human he’d be an extremely paranoid, anxious, and probably violent person of middle intelligence who was good looking and also happened to be a spree killer cannibal.
Those of you who are regular readers know that Geoff and I love food. We love to eat it, to cook it, to bake it. We have more cookbooks than we have room to store them. Sometimes I think this blog is in danger of becoming a food blog. Or, at least, a blog about our favorite restaurant. Ahem.

I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised to see that Kevin Smith is apparently a dachshund fan. He owns a short-haired mini named Shecky. I am a fan of his work, and I have owned dachshunds forever, and yet I never knew he had a dachshund.

First of all, the fantastic folks at Gentle Giant put up a link on Facebook to our post from the other day and we got all kinds of traffic. Thanks, guys!
Yesterday Geoff and I went to the 2011 National Urban League Conference Job Fair. It was absolutely, hands down, the best job fair either of us has ever been to. The job fair was all of Hall A at the Boston Convention Center and was about half and half interesting vendors and people looking to hire. We had more interesting conversations with people from all over the country than I can remember having in a long, long time. Also, I got a pony.
Yesterday Kelly and I stayed late after our church service in order to help out with some of the yard work. I guess we needed the distraction and it was nice to do something constructive rather than something meaningless. The toughest part (and the part we were specifically asked to do) was preparing an area where a new row of hedges will soon be planted. The head of the property committee (I am a member) asked me to use the rotor tiller we keep at the church to help break up the dry, packed soil. So I did, and Kelly assisted me by raking and shoveling out all of the loose soil.
The family medical emergency has gotten a bit better, at least so far. It looks like the worst part may be over, and that Kelly and I will not have to make any sudden trips anywhere. At least so far.
So everyone that sent their kind words and prayers – thank you, very much.
-Geoff
