Groovy...

the kids' uncle brian gave them some really groovy old lava lamps - one of them even says Camel right on it - old school. they love them and they provide all kinds of procrastination fodder when it's bed time. you can waste quite a few minutes checking out the different movements of the 'lava' when it's 'light's out' time... thanks uncle brian!

Visit to Lexington

greg got to see his long-time friend bobby. good conversation about restaurant service, how loud is too loud for music that is supposed to provide ambiance, concealed weapons permits, and Calvin Russell's Crossroads (you should check it out if you haven't heard it). also, maggie, her grandmother and i got impromptu but very good manicures. it was maggie's first manicure as far as we could recall - she got black nail polish and it looked great!
