Just a little

Sitting here. Empty house.

Bear gone with Mom. Dentist. Having work done. Hope he manages all right. Poor little dude. Sending up little prayers.

Got to go get Lemur from school soon. He likes having his dad home. He's eager to do homework because we're doing it together. Now that I'm home and can.

But for now, just sit. Just quiet.

Robo bought a new cell phone yesterday with his birthday money. Prepaid. He feels like he's part of the world now.

Daughter has play practice tonight. Her first real part on stage in a main High School show with lines and everything.

It's fall of her Junior year. They're doing The Crucible.

In the fall of my Junior year, at this same school (with a different director), I did The Crucible.

She's playing the character of Mary Warren.

In that fall of 1985, her mother was in this same play with me, playing Mary Warren.

At our first read through, her mother came in wearing purple sweatpants and a matching purple sweatshirt.

My wife told my daughter if she goes to her first rehearsal and sees someone wearing purple----run.

Update: Bear and mom return. Puffy little cheek. Apparently there were tears. He's ok now though. Has to go back in future to get other side done. More prayers.
