I don't put pen to paper much anymore, but one week ago today we embarked on a family camping trip. It seemed like a good idea to take notes at the time. Here is the journal from that trip. -------
The kids are helping me clean the house this afternoon. It should be noted that this is not a regular occurrence (for them or myself). Five minutes in, Claire, the 8-year old, says in a choppy, staccato voice: "We Are Dad's Robots," and answers my requests by saying, "Yes, Master!" Works for me.
