Lucy listening to reading deserves a picture. It is something to see. It reminds Lyman of the time he spent reading the encyclopedia to his two-year-old sister in the glider on the front porch. As long as he would read, he says, she would sit quietly, with a questioning look every once in a while.

Our technical problems with pictures, and other issues, can be traced to the router. Apparently the one we have has made something of a mess, and Lyman is deciding whether he wants to pay 35 bucks a call to the manufacturer or buy a new one. Advice is welcome.
