Around 12:30pm today, Cindi called during a meeting to tell me that Judah’s custody papers are on their way from Uganda!

The guy RD’s decided to hike Half-Dome in Yosemite this weekend (Jeff Lewis, Dave Hulet, Siona Savini, and I). The only other time I was in Yosemite is long enough ago for me not to remember anything about it. I’ll certainly remember this time, though. The hike was 15.2 miles roundtrip.
