I haven’t been blogging much lately. My nephew – T,age 3 – was visiting for several days. It was really a blast having him here. Most of the time, he’s just a little engine of unabashed happiness.

He got to go to the annual butterly exhibit at the museum of natural history. Hundreds and hundreds of butterflies, flittering around and doing their butterfly thing in a big enclosed pavilion. If you’re feeling angry or at odds with life, this is just the thing to set your mind and soul aright.

I know, it’s not a great picture. But T slows down to the point where a photographic device can capture him so seldom, that one tends to shoot from the hip.

He also went to the carousel at Chase Palm Park. Here he is, with Nana, on his trusty steed. Once again, the shutter on a digital camera is only so fast.

I realize I missed the opportunity to comment on geopolitical events of great moment, and I really appreciate it.
