Relative Something

This morning we find ourselves at our favorite place, with friends. We headed out of town yesterday on a trip to Hayward, WI for the weekend, where our children and two families of friends have gathered. There isn’t much in the way of viable snow cover to enjoy, but there is a lake-full of frozen water. With the moon looming large overhead last night, we wandered out on the lake for an exploratory excursion and found a few marvels of leaf impressions melted up to an inch deep, and a couple sticks that we extracted as if executing a full size version of the battery-operated game of physical skill, “Operation.”

Then we gathered round, but not around the fire. The center of attention was Julian’s new iPad, on which we instantly composed eight bars of a joint composition on electronic instruments. Fun with friends in a fun place at a fun time of year.

Happy supermoon Saturday!
