Memoranda 2023

Whistler, Canada so very cold, we resolved to balance the mundane and the bold.
Looking back now on twenty-three, write a song to tell you some of our stories…

You might not recognize them now 9 and 12, suddenly we find they can do so many things themselves.
Both love school and their brand new soccer teams, keeps us busy but we find some time to ski.

Summer trip to Ohio with a wild safari day, had a Clipper rain out, next time we’ll see them play.
Later off to Switzerland but first a stop in Paris, we think the Eiffel tower is where we caught the virus.
Mountain hikes and a cold swim in the Aare, when we got home we dressed up for the Eras.

Smiles and laughter, overdue communion, it was a 25 year Williamstown reunion.
Working for global equity and preserving our trees, marked by a trip to the conference of the parties.

On a 60 mile gravel bike adventure, it never was so hard keeping up with my brother.
Cadmium momentum can be hard to maintain, in 2024 we’ll get out there again.

Some days our heads are spinning, looking around at all the messes we’re in...
on days when we’re not sure what we should do, we resolve again and reach out to you.
