Well, Hal is off to Camp Bernie, a three-day, two-night bonding experience for the fifth graders. He was a little apprehensive as the day approached, but once I took him up to the school, and he saw the other kids and parents with all their camping stuff, he seemed to relax. At any rate, he put his stuff in its designated spot and ran off to play with his friends, so I assume he'll be okay.
Barb was sad this morning, and I had to hold her for a bit while she cried. But just a little. Maybe it's just a guy thing, or maybe it's just me, but I don't feel the tug of separation. At least not for something like this. It was different with Lindsay going off to college, because she would be gone for months at a time. But this is only until Friday afternoon, and he has a lot of adult supervision and medical personnel there.
So tonight, Barb and I will finish staining the window trim in the living room and cleaning up. And tomorrow, we'll go out to dinner all on our lonesome. That'll be nice, just picking up and going without a lot of arrangements and such.
