Visiting us for the week from Minnesota is my nephew Rory.  My brother’s second oldest, he and Kyle plan to do some sight seeing in between twice a day workouts.  Both are into fitness and healthy eating.  Perhaps some of their virtuous habits will rub off on me.  Jeanine returned from Florida having enjoyed her time there thoroughly.

Jeanine and Kris enjoying Easter Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida. Friends for nearly five decades it sounds like the two are having a grand time.  On the home front, my lack of conditioning was apparent at the first soccer practice of the season this morning. I have a lot of work to do to get back in shape and not much time. Every year the challenge seems to grow.

Knowing that Jeanine would have prepared a delicious homemade feast if she were here, I decided to try and honor that tradition in my own way. Kyle and I picked up a rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, cornbread, and salad which we then took to Olin College where we joined Maya for an Easter Sunday (partial) family dinner.
