What would a visit from Chris be without Anubis?

Here you see Chris just after he arrived on Friday, July 31 with a houseful of furniture, appliances, supplies, and so forth.
Seated beside him in the cab on the road from Chicago was his pet snake, Anubis. Actually she (the snake) wasn't sitting. She was wrapped in a cozy blanket and housed in a plastic Tupperware-style container, lid closed tight. Chris wanted to keep a mother-hen eye on her to be assured she would end the trip in a healthy condition. In the rear of the truck was her cage as she and Chris were enroute to their new home in Washington D.C., a duplex with 2 bedrooms (code for overnight company accomodations) and one bath and a basement.


We were amazed at what an accumulation of "stuff" he had. We warned him: "Wait until you are 75 years old and see how your "wealth" has grown.
Come Monday morning Chris will be on the job at Carnegie Institution. We wish him well as he starts life in his chosen field: Physics and research.



His visit was much too short, but the three of us found time for dinner at Leo's Restaurant. The food was Italian and toothsome; the conversation was edifying and heartwarming. Breakfast this morning was at-home, pancakes, eggs and bacon with conversation the equal of last night's. We hope to have a visit from Chris (and Anubis) again soon.
