Julie Is Four

Julie is four years old today -- and will be four years old exactly some time early this morning.

I am tired, but very happy.

And there will be pictures later.

Minivan Mort (Maybe)

So we finally sold our old Chrysler Town and Country minivan to samwinolj and Bonnie last month. And there was much rejoicing.

There was more rejoicing (at least of a kind today) when Bonnie was in a head-on crash in the minivan. Bonnie is fine, the air bags having deployed just as they were supposed to.

The van appears to be a coin flip away from being totaled.

But the big piece of metal and the air bags did the job that they needed to.

And that's the good news.
