Dear Mom,

Here I sit in Valporaiso, IN -- drove in a bit ago after seeing the nephew graduate and visiting with the other brother outside Springfield, IL. I'll be flying back to SLC tomorrow evening, so this might be my only post for a couple days. Maybe. But as soon as I get back I'll explain about the graduation and how the tuba player drowned.

And how my brother ripped up his rotator cuff unloading a riding lawn mower.

Your fave rave son,
Rapaire
