This is my 1.5-year-old great-nephew.
Favorite quote of the day: Mitra, the beautiful Iranian woman who rips the hair off my face, was talking about how some people choose to enlarge and contract various body parts by medical means. When she alluded to certain anatomical regions, I didn’t believe her and told her so. She froze in amazement, mid-rip, and chided, “YOU don’t watch the Surgery Channel?!”
Favorite party today: Anna’s 60th b’day tea party. On the tea tray were four kinds of sandwiches, a torte, two cakes, a cookie, two kinds of scone, and toppings. I had one of everything, two of several things and three of one thing.
Least favorite part of the day: getting lost on the freeway three times.
Other least favorite part of the day: when my Swiss Army knife’s can opener closed on my thumb while taking down Lulu’s bunk bed. (“Only a flesh wound.”)
Favorite visitors: the Irish contingent (Shirley, Bernadette, Mary) and Scott.
Oh crap … seriously least favorite part of the day: going eagerly to look at all the photos and videos I took tonight and seeing that the computer devoured all but these two of them, leaving not even bones.
Final least-favorite part of the day: knowing it’s the eve of the longest time by far I’ll ever have gone without seeing Lulu.
