Family visit

It was great to have my mom, grandma, and cousin Anders visit me this weekend for Easter. Anders has a way of saying something in three words that would take me an essay to say. For instance, we all went for a walk on the Unversity of Iowa campus, and we looked at a courtyard which has this structure as its back wall, and is filled with odd sculptures of various sizes and shapes, some rusted, some bright and made of marble, all abstract. It has a sort of macabre, midnight-in-the-garden-of-good-and-evil kind of beauty to it.

Anders looked at it and said, "This courtyard is weird. In kind of a good way."
