Thanks to a conference a few hours north, my uncle Keith whizzed through town for a quick visit. Since he is nearly a decade younger than my mom, he was the hip, happening uncle of my childhood. Full of boundless energy and crazy antics, it was probably a sneak preview of my future life as a parent.
While he was here he got a good snuggle in with Ellery, who he was meeting for the first time. Which, ahem, is a good sign that he doesn't visit anywhere near enough.
