I love running errands with you. I’m really going to miss it when I’m gone next year.
— Beatrix, age 17 5/6.
(This whole going off to college thing is really beginning to sink in for us.)
Finally replaced my missed-so-much Volvo XC70 that got totaled back in September. This is a 2015 Volvo XC60 in great shape. Hopefully, it will serve me just as faithfully and long.
Thought: In this day and age, lack of confidence in one’s ability to do anything is really just a manifestation of fear. All of the world’s knowledge is available to us in just a few clicks. You can learn anything you don’t know. If you have the time, energy, and desire, you can do it.
Some things to note about these senior photos of Beatrix…
Five generations of her family attended convocation in this chapel.
Her Great Grandmother’s ashes were scattered at the base of this tree.
These were taken by her aunt, my sister, Patrice in New Orleans.
They capture her well.
I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone reading the happiest of this holiday season. Times are complicated and sometimes everything seems so hard. Yet, in the past few days I’ve experienced heartfelt joy, unexpected wonder, and moments I’ll always treasure. I’m grateful for it all.
The Christmas tradition continues…
Um, this is kind of huge news.

I’m finding myself doing a fair amount of podcast guesting these days. It falls under my policy of yes.
