Returning to the Midwest

I arrived at my hometown of Des Moines, Iowa in late August, in plenty of time for my birthday. I considered the visit a sort of birthday present. I have gotten a bit more re-acquainted with Mom and Curt. The previous short stays never seemed to allow me to do that. It's been nice.

Yesterday, I watched the University of Iowa Hawkeyes give Iowa State University a sound drubbing on the football field. As a UI alumnus, I found this to be quite gratifying despite the fact that practically all of my nieces and nephews went to Iowa State!

After scanning some more of Mom's old photos, I made another family video.
