Late this evening we were delighted by a visit from Edward. It was a long overdue opportunity to catch up on each other’s lives. Besides getting updates on work and college classes, plans for studying math and engineering, we learned about his Minecraft Steve videos on youtube. here’s a link to his HAPPY video. check it out and pass it on. Also check out his Real Life Minecraft Steve Goes to WalMart and Real Life Minecraft Steve Goes to School. What’s fun is Ed’s delight at watching other’s delight when they see him dressed in his costume!

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation.
