An Extra Window

So this is another picture so that you can see where the painting is hanging. Perfect-- it's my new window. And we didn't even have to knock out any bricks. Whew!

My Graduation Gift!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who contributed to honor me with such a gift. It's an Alethaire Kelly original, and it's one of my favorites of hers. About it, she said, "I got to the top of the window, and I just wanted to keep drawing trees, so I did." I love it.

Once More to the Lake

Emeka, Erica and Sarah Sailing

My friend from Yale (fellow gymnast and Slav) was driving cross country and made a little detour to experience life at the lake. We had a great time, and it was fun getting to know Erica (fellow capoeirista). Their next stop: The Grand Canyon.

Captain and First Mate

We decided to go for a sail while at Kentucky Lake. The wind didn't cooperate at first and the sun blazed. We anchored in the main lake, jumped in to cool off. Sonny perfected his jump with a twist off the boat during that little break. And, lo, on the way back the gods of the winds blessed us with a nice breeze so we coasted back to Bent Tree Cove. Sonny decided he preferred sailing to speed-boating: fewer "bumps."

Back Home

After a summer of insane traveling, I am back at home. The new news, in case you haven't heard, is that we are expecting our second Koren baby, due January 23. And you can expect pictures from our travels soon. And hopefully a few new videos, too!
