The weather this year has been weird. Very cool, often rainy. I'm sure soon enough we'll be lamenting the lost cool in the heat of summer.
In the meantime, Syl and I have enjoyed the respite from June's usual bugs, and have spent a lot of time in the woods with the mutts.
Jake O'Leary has been like a son to me, and like a brother to Syl, for all his life. He's grown up to be one hell of a great young man. I was honored to be invited to join Jake's family at his graduation from Concord Academy, and Syl and I had a nice time celebrating him at his grad party. Jake is off to Colgate next year!
Syl has done enough with the Wayland High School Theatre Ensemble to get a Varsity Jacket at this year's award's presentation. I think it looks pretty sharp.
