Safe return; tragedies; election; Baby Owen’s welcome
I’m back in South Bend, delighted to be with my own family and delighted by how delighted they are that I’m back.

The big news is the tragedy in Israel. As with the Ukrainian tragedy, I have nothing useful to say, and I’m reluctant even to share others’ links, although my Internet go-tos – friends and foes – have offered up plenty of material. I’m doing my utmost not to condemn Joe Blow on the street or in the pulpit for taking this or that stance, for confidently allocating blame.
The other news is that Daniel Noboa, Alvarito’s son, is Ecuador’s President-elect. The populists hounded the last President, a businessman, out of office. Now the people have elected another businessman to replace him.
Ecuador will play soccer against Colombia tomorrow.

This is one of the better birth announcements I’ve seen.
Owen appears to be his parents’ fourth child. (I barely know these people, but all my memories of them are favorable.)
Behold the principle of diminishing returns.
