Today [Daniel->] and [Fanny->] are getting married up in Canada. I wish like the dickens that we could be there, but it just wasn’t possible to pull off so closely on the heels of the England trip. Congratulations, you guys! Hope the day is an unmitigated joy. We’ll raise a Shiner in your honor.

Today is also [Abigail->]’s ninth birthday. (How is it possible?) Happy Birthday, my dear. We love you very much, and are thrilled to be able to celebrate this occasion with you!
