Vimy
Theo and I took a train to Vimy and enjoyed a lovely 5 km walk through the village and to the ridge above. The World War I memorial is a sight to behold. It is enormous. For scale, note the … Continue reading
Parisians all
Theo and I rented bicycles to explore Paris. We rode down the Champs-Élysées and Theo posed with the Arc de Triomphe. Then we went for caramel ice-cream. This is a picture of Theo with the moon. We hacked the bios … Continue reading

Feeling blue
There was a bit of fanfare related to the full moon on August 31. It was the second full moon to grace our north american skies in the month of August. Many people referred to this phenomenon by the name “blue moon.” … Continue reading
