All is well in Minnesota - Lillian has made it to the ripe old age of one official month. She took her first trip to Iowa on Friday and ate at her first Maid-Rite. She got hugged and kissed by all sorts of Great Aunts and Uncles and Cousins once removed, grandparents, and great grandparents who were all nice enough to pass her around at 4:00 AM so that Liz and I could get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. THAT was cool.
God Bless Iowa.
The Hochmans are all safe and well - Thanks for all the calls and emails. Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of those whose lives were disrupted by the collapse of the 35W bridge. Send some happy thoughts their way.
