It must be admitted...

I have to admit, I lead an enviable life. Today was a family picnic. My sister took this photo of me trudging through a stream, catching crayfish. Yes, it looks like I'm chasing butterflies, but it was actually crayfish.


We were at Hidden Valley, just outside Burlington. Here, my dad, older sister, and oldest daughter are also hunting for crayfish and other slippery beasties.


My dad, and Elizabeth and Claire. My father's beard is so intensely white and enormous as to cause lesser men to weep spontaneously.
