Today we sold our house in Cleveland. This has been a very long process but is now a huge weight off of our shoulders. Coinicidentally, this occurred the same week that Melissa graduated from Case Western. So we are celebrating two big milestones and getting use to the idea that we no longer have any formal ties to Cleveland. In the midst of this, Everett reminds us of his place in our lives, which began at almost exactly the time we moved from Cleveland to Wisconsin. One recent morning Everett woke up and lay down between us in bed:

“We have an Everett sandwich. You and Dadda are the bread.”

Melissa: “What are you?”

“I’m the good stuff.”

Indeed.
