I'm hijacking the blog for a bit. Jenn's had her time in the limelight and now that I'm on leave for the semester, maybe I can opine for a bit and keep up the family honor. Let's see...

...went back to Bucknell for a few days to tie up loose ends. That was cool. Stopped in at the Blanchard annual reunion in Springfield and that was a lot of fun too. Now we're sipping coffee in new england and remain incredibly addicted to the world's hardest game of solitaire. Jenn noticed that Bucknell's women's crew will be rowing in the Head of the Charles this fall and we are already making plans to be there to hoot and holler for the Bison. For example, Henry has a nice bright orange shirt that should really make us look like over-obsessed parents.

So I'm actually a little depressed about Steve Irwin's death. He represented science and nature terrifically to anybody who can stand a few "crikey's" and was an effective role model in the natural sciences. I'm guessing he was (and still is) to the current generation what Mr. Wizard was to mine. Yes, I'm a massive nerd.
