Kate, Lydia, and I went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival on Saturday. I was tricked out like a German tourist with fore-and-aft backpacks; Lydia in front in the baby bjorn, and diapers, wipes, and an umbrella behind. Ever since high school, I’ve imagined myself wearing a baby backpack exactly like Bill and Ted, after they go away for a year of intensive rock-and-roll lessons in the time machine, marry the princesses, and have babies, returning in time to change the world by playing “God gave Rock and Roll to you.”

Well, now that I look at those photos, I’m not sure that I want to dress exactly like Ted did.

Kate has some pictures of her plunder on her blog, as well as a link to a Bingo card web-app thingy I made with stuff we spotted at the festival.
