It's a free jazz Saturday morning. Alper leaves for Istanbul this weekend. We'll miss him, but the planning for an excursion to Turkey begins immediately. It may take some time (my kids may be in college) but we'll get there eventually.

Have a great trip, Alper.

Eric, Ornette? Take us out . . .

To start things off, I'll include this picture taken on our night to bid bon voyage to Alper from the Brewer's Art. I snapped this with my phone while Chris and Alper were off either fetching beers or using the bathroom. I suppose it would have been nice to have a picture with the three of us, but the table candle and the dregs of Alper's beer will have to do.
