"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

baby shower

Keeping fingers crossed for a successful conclusion to Nedda's pregnancy!  So far, so good.

In the meantime - a baby shower was held at PJr/Nedda house on Saturday, September 23.  The men weren't allowed to show up until the party was nearly over.  But other than that, we understand everyone had a fine time; lots of nice gifts; lots of custom "onesies"; etc.  Thoughtful prep, food, drink, decorations.  Perfect weather.
