visiting SA

Hey, Patrick is taking a 10 week long course in Norfolk, VA, so I'm visiting in the USA. One week with his folks in Brevard, NC, on the first and last leg of this trip and SA in the middle. I managed to see JB Summit and his wife Mina and their 3 1/2 year old son William and also Lila at a McDonald's on Sunday. It was great to see them! Lila, post the photo you took, please! My daughter Clare just watched the TV and negotiated over dessert and Thomas was busy making friends, while Will actually played a little on the play structure. Mina and JB are living in Brooklyn and coming to SA quite frequently for the very sad reason that his mother is terminally ill with cancer. We talked about kids and jobs and food (JB's dad has taken up cooking, while in Brooklyn they call in a lot of Thai food. I wish we could call in Thai food in our German village!)
So, there it is. I hope all is well with folks. What is anybody else doing this Summer?

    Jen and I are still reeling from the financial costs of the wedding, so our travel is pretty limited this year, but we will be going to D.C. in November to see the MLS Cup (that's the championship game to the uninitiated). We will be joining Lark and Delene in the guest wing of the Chateau de Carpenter in nearby Virginia for a long weekend, so that will be fun.
    I hear that Walter will be paying you a visit this weekend. Sorry I can't be there to see Patrick and the kids, but I'm really glad you got to spend a few days in Cali at the wedding.

    I'll be going on a business trip to Boston (Cambridge) next week to work at the operations center for the orbiting Chandra X-Ray observatory.

    On Aug 08, a friend from college and I shall see Rush at Red Rocks.

    In late September to early October, I shall take my whole family on a two-week vacation to Washington, D.C., and then to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where my brother in law will be married. For most of the kids, this will be the first airplane flight, and it may be their only one for many years, as it is only very rarely that we can figure out how to afford such transportation for the whole family.

    Julia (or anyone else), do you have contact information for J.B.? I should very much like to talk to him.

    just a quick response... I do, but I'm reluctant to put it on the web. I'll send out an email to Tom and anyone else who wants JB's email address.
