Happy Birthday!

Hello, loyal readers, if there are any of you left. There has been little news on this weblog because, well, there has been little news to report. That, and the people who would report such news as there is have been busy with other things. For instance, Robin (who, despite the signature tag at the bottom of this post, is not the author of these words) is busy writing at least two books, finishing his doctorate, and leading a church.

So. Jim's latest news is that for about a month he has been sojourning with Robin and Louise in Klamath Falls. He flew from Dallas to Oregon on March 2 with Louise, who was returning from the east coast for a visit with her daughter Rachel (who has hacked into her father's google account to post this update) in Durham/Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Jim's daily routine seems to be much the same in whichever of the three households of his children he happens to reside. He reads, watches TV, putters about the yard if the weather cooperates, helps around the house (next major project: help Robin install a retractable awning over the back deck), goes on outings with the family.

Jim's other news is that he is celebrating a birthday this week: on Friday, he will be 84 years young. Happy birthday, Grandpa!

Lacking any current photos to add to the website, here's one from the archives: Jim and Robin, circa, oh, I would guess 1949ish, probably in Fort Worth. Perhaps you who are in the picture can confirm or correct the details.
