When Lyle’s mom Abby was this old, she’d hang around with my kids on Shabbat mornings. Abby now lives a block away. I ran into her and Lyle on foot the other day as they returned from a Suzuki lesson. We kept talking when we reached their driveway. This apparently bored Lyle, so she pulled out her ax and started to wail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58be428c6a496390295f0757/1558465774856-HGF6NTCXAYJDYY5WL3AI/lyle+katz.jpg Photos - Lyle K.

I just liked the abstract geometry of this spot. I came away from our trip (and remain) in awe of the Inca’s skill with Big Stone.
