it wasn’t a good appointment. a rainy forecast so we worked in the garden until dark. afterwards we sat, drank whiskey, and watched the fireflies and bats. oh, this life.

we laid in bed looking at her new yearbook for almost an hour. it is such a gift that she still invites me into her life in this way. i am endlessly impressed by her grace.

i spent some quality time holding a baby today. baby toes are quite beguiling. later, i told my ten-year-old babe that I was proud of her.

i sat on a lawn chair in the garage while bennett played ball in the rain. the pouring was relentless and we carried out chinese. there was no challah.
