Had dinner with my parents and uncle. It was nice to chat although I'm covered in bugbites from grilling the chicken in the backyard. Uncle's baby puppy is cute, but viscious, and according to mom baby Patrick is doing well (including breastfeeding of course.) A happy thought from last night--the closing of the House season opener was "Hallelujah," my favorite-song-of-the-moment thanks to the Rufus Wainwright version
