Oak Park

On a rare (manufactured) day off we visited Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago and canvas for architect Frank Lloyd Wright a pioneer of the 'prarie' style. He apprenticed Walter Burley Griffin who was named after a lake in Canberra.

Experiment

My experiment is doing a Santa Claus impersonation. Either I've been awake too long or need more sleep.

Lurking beneath Ben's mild mannered pianist guise is an alter ego waiting to escape.

Pay Day

My first paycheck from my first real paid job. After years of (modest) PhD stipends my first thought was that I'd been overpaid.
