a couple more musings

1.  No party games at the baby shower, but there was a lot of great food.

2.  The Arlington County Library was just bequeathed $800,000 from a retired federal employee who loved the library. How unbelievably cool is that?  I'm in awe of this person's generosity.  I'm not sure if this person had family, but somebody who may have thought they were getting more moolah just lost out.

3.  A couple Sundays ago, we attended Mac's school's back-to-school picnic hosted by the PTA.  The PTA grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, and families brought side dishes.  Reportedly more than 1000 people came.  To a back-to-school picnic, where attendance was not mandatory. On a Sunday afternoon.  These people are involved.

4.  The boys are still at the baseball game.  Apparently Mac's eaten enough to clean Jimmy out of all his cash.  Good thing for Mac they accept credit cards at the old ball game.

That is a wonderful turn out for your PTA Welcome Back!!! Did they serve wine and beer? Always amazed at that overseas. Hey, does Mac's school do much with Stop Motion Animation? If we do end-up in the area next, hoping to find a school that can really let Tak explore his passion with more skilled help than I could ever possibly offer.
