Eric and I traveled to Seattle to see my nephew Scott graduate from the University of Washington with a degree in Mathematics. We're all so proud of him. We had a nice time. It was a short trip, but well worth it!


Eric and Paul share a tender moment.



An outdoor event in Seattle.



The keynote speaker was Robert Rubin, the Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton. He was a snoozefest, but the weather was working against him.



Umbrellas abound. It was a cheerful crowd, though, on accounta the happy occasion.



At the restaurant with Scott -- looking for all the world like his father, Chuck -- and my redheaded siblings.
