…so we went shopping. We went charging out of the house relatively early today to go to the DMV and renew licenses and IDs (both of us ended up with quite nice pictures, I thought) and then in a fit of behavior not really that much like us, went shopping all over the place with Ted’s mom. We ended up with new shoes and a long, interesting lecture by the store owner/salesman talking about proper arch support and new insoles and things, and I shall be interested to see if…

Had the air of a family reunion coming to a close. Spidey and Lei Ann came up from Boston and we had lunch and hung out for a few hours, which was *terrific*, as we hadn’t seen each other since Ted and I lived in California.
