What a beautiful thing family is. I've had so much fun, and this reunion
is a microcosm of what family should be in real life: blue skies, a haven
amidst the realities of life. Remember when you were young, and there
were times that everything was just perfect? That's sort of what this is
like, though with a little bit of adult complication. Every once in
awhile I think of being at OSU, working on my IAC reports, and it seems
so harsh.

Today, we played a game of softball, then went out for a beautiful day on
the beach. Now we're back for a grilled supper and relaxation.
