Saturday

A roadtrip like this in the Spitfire might be a great goal for Jake.

Jake bought his Triumph Spitfire last year, at age 18, which would make him 68 on the 50th anniversary of that purchase (the same “purchase anniversary” of the Austin-Healey 3000 fetured in this WSJ article). The Triumph would be 100 (it’s an American market Mark III manufactured in January, 1970 — the month after I was born!). Maybe we’ll shoot for an earlier “purchase anniversary” to make a road trip with it. I’d like to be a part of it.

Christmas break is winding down. We’re taking Jake back to campus this morning, and Jonathan’s girlfriend flies out this afternoon. Jonathan will be here for another couple weeks, but the house is emptying.

Renee and I added a new square on the “we’re getting old” bingo card the other day: talking about this “emptying out,” she said something that sounded like something my grandma would have said: “I just like having a full house.”
