May 28

Today was the kids’ last day of school. Christina walked home wearing her bacon costume and got honked at a lot. We went out to eat to celebrate and then Robin asked to go to Barnes & Noble afterwards. We bought a few books. And by a few I mean too many. Luckily we have some long flights ahead of us, so maybe we can make a dent in the stack. I ended up skipping this evening’s race – a blue jean mile to benefit NAMI. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. It was 83 degrees, 91% humidity, and 50% chance of rain. It had actually just stopped raining when I would have had to leave. I feel like a wimp for backing out, but my regret is minimal. I donated a good amount of money, so it was not a total loss. I wonder how many people did show up. I’ll never know.
