Empty Nesting

We took Dan and Ainsley to the airport Sunday, I am excited and worried but I think they are in a good position to make this work! The apartment is ready for them to move into on the 31st, so they have one day to clear Ainsley's studio. Fortuitously the lab where she works is closed this week so they get a little vaca before the big move. I guessing Dan will start active job hunting after they move, I think he feels pretty confident since he has saved a good amount from his job here. Really hoping he finds something he likes, maybe at a museum or one of the colleges? 

Jim and I played for a memorial day service in Fairfield - was kind of our 4th of July band (first time w/o Leonard) with a few extras. I think it came off pretty well, missed having our boy there.

End of an Era

Dan will be leaving home Sunday. I guess this


is really the second time, since in the fateful year 2020 he did go off to college (at the University of Montana) for about 18 months. But this time he's off to Baltimore, moving in with his best friend Ainsley and doing all the adulting sort of things. I'm excited for him and hoping he finds fulfilling work.
