Our friend and loyal reader Jenifer E sent us a postcard, which arrived yesterday.

Death Valley, 1980
Photograph by André Gelpke

On the back, she wondered whether our family had aged Benjamin Button style and if, perhaps, this was a photo of us and Iggy from back in the day.

As far as I know, this is not us. Iggy seldom stands still long enough to be thus photographed, and I’m pretty sure Robbi wouldn’t want to claim credit for those pants. But it is a nice photo, reminding me of those wonderful places where mountains give way to water.
