Son Rise

My wife and I are heading to Connecticut this weekend to watch our son, Michael, graduate from Wesleyan on Sunday. I am taking off in another sense, too. Michael spent a few days on Cape Cod with friends recently, and he emailed me this photograph he took in an alley near where they were staying. Check it out. The kid's got an eye, and a sensibility.

Dare I say, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree?

Soon Mike will be off to London for two months of training at Deutsche Bank, his new employer. By September he’ll be working on Wall Street. You remember Wall Street. Everyone wears sackcloth and ashes there nowadays, but after their 14-hour-days, they still know how to have a good time.
