Last weekend was my annual trip to the cabin in PA. It was great as usual. A favorite time. The words I would use to sum it up are:
Cozy
Cabin
Snow
Icicles
Food
Books
Conversation
Laughter
Tears
Spiritual
Amazing
Women
Friends

This week has been spent running, recovering from runs, anticipating Sara's music festival tomorrow, rejoicing in Sam's good week of wrestling, and wondering if Evan has pinkeye. Tomorrow is one of those Saturdays with no blank space on the calendar and everyone going different directions, but it is all good stuff, so it should be a good day. I've put up a couple new book reviews (see the sidebar) and started a new book which has me thinking way too much about the concept of Happiness. I'm not sure being happy lends itself to thinking about it a lot, but I'll let you know if it actually does help. Oh, and Ev does not have the disease most dreaded by school nurses.

For your viewing pleasure, and knowing that this is not nearly as universally enjoyable as a child's first steps or a trip to the pumpkin patch, I offer up Sam's last wrestling victory. He is in the Maroon uniform and starts out on the left. If you don't know anything about wrestling, I'll tell you that he won 5-2 and pretty much dominated except for one moment when the other kid got the better of him. Overall, it was a good win for him. Commentary is by Eric and my Dad. Also, he got a mention in a local sports write-up. Sam's match (160) is one of the ones that the other coach said they expected to win but they didn't!
