A Good Run!
January 6, 2025
Twenty twenty four was notable for a lot of things. But this one stands out:
After saying goodbye to Peter a year ago on January 5 (following a two-week visit over the holidays), we saw him in April (our annual spring visit to Ann Arbor); May (end of the same trip); July (John Muir Trail); August (Dolomites trip); September (end of the same trip, plus our annual fall visit to Ann Arbor); October (a Davis wedding); November (Thanksgiving); December (Christmas); January 2025 (end of the same trip). That’s a Peter sighting in 9 of 12 months. My kind of year!
This is a hard act to follow, but hoping twenty twenty five will give it a shot.
Took Peter to the airport today.. and he flew back to Ann Arbor, barely missing a massive storm that was paralyzing a significant swath of our country. Got word tonight that he made it home safely. I can relax now, but I’m still really down. It may be a few months before we’ll see him and Maya.
Here’re a couple photos I snuck in late last night.. it is soooo nice to share space with our boy.
