A look at the pictures or any other way you wish to evaluate the subject of this blog impresses me that my offspring is about to start on a journey which may one day improve the gene pool of the family. A journey that I happily began some 27 years ago. The journey has had many other happy outcomes as well and I expect yours will as well.
Dad didn't have it all together, so he married Mom. The main point is that he married Mom--a sign of consummate wisdom.
Paul may not have gotten everything he needed from Mom, but at least he inherited the crucial instinct from Dad that now allows him to make his own equally wise and glorious move.
Many of blog's photos were taken by friends. Most of them were taken by Petra. I've tried to give credit where credit was due, but I'm sure to fall short. Please forgive the pilfering.
