Everybody’s doing it, so I guess I will too. I’m talking about a photo dump of The Year In Pictures. A couple of disclaimers:
I didn’t take all 25 of these pix. However, I will endeavor to give credit where it is due.
I’m not IN all these pix either. In some cases I’ve never even BEEN to some of these places. So sue me.
Not all these pix were taken in 2023. Some are just old favorites. Don’t complain: I’m old. You’re old. We all are.
I have grouped according to theme. For cases where connection to the theme is tenuous, those pix are placed last.
Happy Birthday to my better half today, born just in time for the tax deduction. In our 4-decade-old joint venture, credit for a majority of the good stuff – just like for most of these pictures – is her doing.
Enjoy, y’all!

Addendum
In memoriam for David H. Wenthe, Anne’s dad.
As a young man he helped build Old Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
First of all, Happy Happy Birthday to Anne. Also thanks for these lovely photos including those from the environs of East Timur. It was lovely to catch a glimpse of three of you at the Theobald party.
Happy New Year to all the Wolf family.

Beautiful. Thank you. So good to stop and take time to remember.
I enjoyed looking at these Dan. Nice variety of that which makes you happy, at least most of them. Keep sending these, they’re inspirational.
