Exciting adventures:
Breakfast in the sun
Kasey’s going away party
Showering outside at Mel’s Memorial Day party.
Going to a Cubs game with Shane and some long-missed Chicago friends (Heather is sad because she can’t have cotton candy).
Shane is growing a beard in a bad beard contest. I don’t think it’s so bad.

What did you think of Prime? I couldn’t follow it (and I have a physics Ph.D.) But part of that is because I wasn’t in the mood to think too hard, and I figured it would all become clear later. And then it didn’t, and I didn’t feel like rewinding to try to follow it. So I was disappointed.
