Yesterday was a day of transition in a couple of ways. My son Moses left his
apartment in Lansdale, PA for the last time at around 6 a.m. He is now on
business in Colorado Springs, and when he returns on Thursday, it will be to
Philadelphia, which will be his home base for the next few months (although he
will spend most of his working time in Colorado). This is the very last picture
as he was heading out:

A couple of hours later, having emptied his apartment of the last odds and ends
and dropped off the keys at the rental office, we flew to Jacksonville, FL,
where my uncle Zev and my cousin Ilan live, and where we are spending the 3
days while Moses is in Colorado. We have a close relationship to Florida,
having lived here from 1984 to 1990, and visited frequently in subsequent
years. My PhD is from the University of Florida, and my son was born in Tampa.
So it is nice to be down here again for a few days.
This is my cousin Ilan with his youngest daughter Ariel:

Ilan has a wife, three children, and two extremely cute little dogs, one of
which can be seen here:

Finally, my favourite scene of the day—my uncle Zev talking to my daughter
Monica about serious issues such as career possibilities, graduate school
options etc. My children have always been treated like their own grandchildren
by Zev and his wife Alina. The looked after my son when he was a baby back in
1990 when my wife and I needed to go to New Jersey to do some house hunting,
and they have always been there for them, ever since. And so it continues:

One of the great things about this year 2015 is that we get to see them
twice—they visited us in Spain back in May, and now we are here, visiting them.
