Wolf River Trail

Shannon and I on a morning ride of the Wolf River Trail. It's a small pre-cursor to a ride across Missouri we have planned for next fall. I've got a ways to go before I'm ready for that trip. By the way, the log off Shannon's left shoulder is crowded with turtles. *

Max's mom Shannon, left, and his "Auntie" Sherianne, right, at Cafe Eclectica. It's near Rhodes College and is a great place for coffee, light food and practicing the art of doing nothing useful ... a glorious part of any day.*

Cooper-Young

Max is learning keyboard. He's just beginning some two-hand exercises. For now his favorite piece is a right-hand rendition of the theme from Harry Potter that he's worked out for himself.**

Left to right: Brian, Shannon and Max settle in for a reading of one of the Harry Potter books before bed. It's a nightly tradition. Chi-Chi, Max's dog, joins them.**
