Hexapodia
Things have been going all right. Hectic travel schedule. Last weekend we went to Dallas to visit Julie's parents and sister and her family. Was a nice time and the travel went well.
I finished reading Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep, which was a delightfully weird sci-fi tale.
I've been reading various things to Erica for bedtime story over the past few weeks. We finished the last bit of The Jungle Book a few weeks back, after wrapping up The Wind in the Willows. A few days ago, we finished The Arkadians. We just started reading Kiki's Delivery Service. The Wizard of Oz is in the to-read pile, though haven't gotten to it yet.
We're not making it into the path of totality for the upcoming eclipse, just too much to fit in. But a week later we're going to the Netherlands (two nights in Utrecht and two in Amsterdam) for Erica's April break. That's the first international travel I've planned since before the pandemic. It's a longer trip than Erica's made since she was young, and her earlier travel was before boredom was an option, so we'll see how she endures it. Hopefully the night flight and subsequent jetlag won't be too deadly.
