Mr. Ponder

My buddy is visiting. You will never guess what state he comes from.

We have played tennis (a bloody tie), wandered Portland streets and zoo (hi, polar bear friends), devoured film (Book of Eli, you make me want to read the Bible again), and listened quietly to the thudding rain that has flooded down for two solid weeks.

It has been good.

And it is difficult to believe that Little Boy arrives this month. Becca is a trooper. A sexy, strong trooper.
