My dad is a chemistry teacher in Albuquerque. If you ask him one question at dinner, you usually get a whole lesson back. I used to roll my eyes at that. Now I think those lessons are some of my favorite things about him.
These are a few pictures from our family album. They remind me of all the ordinary days that turn out to be important later: breakfast before school, birthdays in the living room, and rides home when there was nothing much to say.
