End of Summer
 This is a little out of date: for Labor Day weekend, Sarah picked up tickets to the Saturday Cirque du Soleil matinee. It was a very entertaining show and happened to be on the way up to NJ.

We were headed that way to meet up with Ian and give him and his stuff (stored in the massive basement of Harry and Elle’s new place) a lift back to Columbia. The move-in on Sunday was very straightforward. His roommate seems like a nice guy and the room is way bigger than a closet.

After a couple trips up to his floor to drop off boxes, he joined us on a visit to the Intrepid which was my first time to see the museum. This is a 1/40th scale Lego model (complete with man overboard in the lower left corner); it’s pretty impressive and way too big to fit in our house.

 While the Lego model was probably the high point, getting into the gunners seat for one of the anti-aircraft guns was pretty cool too. I think if I had an office on 46th Street, I might be worried to see these pointed my way.

Having his big cousin Ian in the seat next to him made it even more fun for Robert. and Sarah and I enjoyed the chance to visit a little more with Ian.

And back inside, Robert and Ian got to test out a medic evac helicopter. This one seems to me to be straight from the set of M*A*S*H.

 It was too short a visit, and I’m sorry Harry and Elle couldn’t join us on the Intrepid trip. But it was fun to see how they’ve moved into the new house and how well it suits them. And dinner with them Saturday and Sunday night was great fun.

We’re hoping Ian and friends may come down to celebrate or protest (depending) the inauguration.
