Things I Will Buy My Nephew: Part 2
Feb 1, ’10
5:57 PM
An orchestral tribute to wheels, wings, and whirly-birds, Bob Thompson’s 1960 “concept” LP rhapsodizes about the technology of human transport, from Vespa scooters to Le Mans racers, from tricycles to rocket ships. Each vehicular vignette is book-ended by authentic sound effects, with vivid stereo motion.
A Night Out With Bannack

11:35 AM
Sara and Chris took Bannack out to Reilly’s last night to hear live music; they invited us along! Lynn Marie & the Wobblyboy were playing, and even played a song for Bannack.
McK got to catch up with Esther and Jen and I stole Bannack away and watched him sleep.
Nordic Skiing at the Harriman

4:35 PM
The Harriman Ranch is ideal for cross country skiing. There are miles and miles of (mostly) groomed trails for skiers to explore. There was no one to groom on New Years Day and over the night we got several inches of fresh powder but we went out any way. I’m glad we did.

After an afternoon of visiting with McK’s parents, looking after the house sitting, and sharing a sublime Christmas dinner—it was great Mom!—we all warmed up to conversation and cocktails.
After-dinner cocktails with McK, Jeep, and the Caseys.
Dad made several rounds of ginger martinis, a perfrect after dinner drink.
Little Bannack faught sleep to keep up with us all.
McK posted herself in front of the fire for most of the night.
