We spent the afternoon with Gedänkenpundit Solly Ezekiel and his family -- the lovely and charming Galit and the dangerously cute little Gedänkenmoppet Eli. There was a picnic by Green Lake, followed by a strenuous walk. We mitigated the harmful effects of the aerobic exercise by stopping for an ice cream break. Solly, it turns out, develops database software using Perl, and if you didn't know anything else about him, that should be enough to tell you that he's not only brilliant but also a hell of a guy (okay, I'm biased). A fabulous time was had by all, especially David, who ate all of the Ezekiel family's grapes ("Baa! Baa!") and then went to sleep. And they even gave us a delicious homemade honey banana bread!
