A new tooth is on the way. He realized it yesterday while we were out and about. This is his first adult tooth, so we are pretty excited. Look for gap-toothed photos soon.

Picture day is tomorrow.

School is going well, and we have managed to visit a good portion of the family. We have had a very successful August.

First day of school

They went off to school on Monday.

This year looks to be much better than last year, for oh so many reasons.

It takes 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop and 20 minutes to walk to the beach. I'm thinking that I can get the boy to the bus and then walk to the beach before I head home. I think that would be a great way to begin each day.

It is a 30 min drive to school for the Elder W. He is looking forward to Morning Edition.

I'm wanting life to be a bit easier at the moment. It will be soon, but the past two days kicked me in the butt a bit.

The guys head to class on Monday. Both of them. We will all head out the door in the morning, and then I will head back to the house on my own. And then I will continue to unpack boxes like a crazy person.

Ok, back to cleaning and setting things right. Sleep is in the near future.

Robert Hazard died. He was before my musical time in Philly, but he wrote a few of the songs of my youth, so I am sad.

By the way---can someone please tell me why I can still spell David U's last name with no hesitation, but I have to think hard before spelling Pennsylvania? How many brain cells did I hardwire to music?
