Dr. Alex visits
Dr. Alex Harbison, now in his 18th year of ENT residency (oh, wait, it seems like 18, but it's just his third year...), blew through town, and joined us for breakfast. He looks terrific, and he and Katie are thriving in Seattle. He had nearly forgotten, though, what that bright round thing in the sky is, on that background of blue. After breakfast and playtime with his second cousins, he was off to see Star Wars with a friend.
